“Eros International & SKF announces record breaking opening weekend collections of Rs 102.60 crore India NBOC for ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’” said the distributors.
After a considerable jump from the opening day where the movie collected Rs 27.25 crore, the film went on to make Rs 36.60 crore and Rs 38.75 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
His earlier single day collection record is for “Ek Tha Tiger”of over Rs 32 crore.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s success comes just a day after ‘Baahubali’ collected Rs 300 crore at box office in mere nine days of its release.
“Eros International & SKF’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan records festival day 2 collection of Rs 36.50 crore India NBOC. Highest ever single day collection for a Salman Khan starrer,” said the distributors.
The 49-year-old actor’s festival release opened to good reviews from both fans and critics and is expected to do better than his last release “Kick”.
