PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO Should Record Highest Single Day At Box Office Ever Tomorrow
Diwali is great time for films to release as audience is in festive mood and is waiting for big Diwali releases. This year Salman Khan starrer Sooraj Barjatya film ''Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'' will light up box office on auspicious occasion of Diwali. Film will bring back blockbuster pair of actor - director after 17 years.
PRDP will release in record number of screens close to 4500. Though film has length of 2 hour 44 minutes still it will get ample shows all over as its kind of solo festive release. Though it will face some competition from few major regional releases but that is always the case every year. Film has huge appeal among masses and music did work across the board.
Advance bookings for the film started few days back and film has received huge response. Almost 35% tickets have been sold in places like Mumbai, Pune and Gurgaon followed by strong trends in Jaipur, Lucknow and Surat. It will have advance booking in range of 15-18 cr by end of today which means it will run to capacity throughout the weekend and word of mouth or reviews will only affect from Tuesday onwards.
Going by the ticket sales in major multiplex chains and key single screens (Gaiety-Galaxy Mumbai, Lucknow, Surat and Kanpur) it seems that film should record highest ever single day in box office history tomorrow around 40 cr nett mark. Anything less than that will be disappointment.
Film should easily clock 135 cr nett over weekend which will be a huge number. Overall another big blockbuster on the cards and this might go all the way to break all the records.
