Bharat on day 1: Salman Khan's film witnesses delightful Eid; collections inside
Mumbai: Salman Khan starrer ‘Bharat’ has set all records straight with raking the first day collections at the box office as the highest ever of all times for the superstar. The magic of the duo Salman Khan and director Ali Abbas Zafar has pulled out massive numbers of Rs 42.3 crores, despite the much-hyped India vs South Africa World cup match on its very first day of release.
The Salman starrer was not only creating all the buzz for being the highest with advance bookings ahead of its release but is set to become a chartbuster of all times. It is the huge star power of Salman Khan and the power pack of not just the movie starring Salman and Katrina together that had piqued the excitement amongst the audience much ahead of its release. Bharat has marked a huge first-day collection of around 43 crores which would be the second highest collection of all time for a Hindi film after Thugs Of Hindostan which marked a moolah of Rs 50 crores at the box office.
