Salman Khan's Bharat Turns His Highest Opener Of All Times
Updated : June 06, 2019 12:24 PM IST
If Salman Khan is having a release during Eid, there is no point in guessing that the film will open to a huge number. Despite his last Eid releases, Tubelight and Race 3, being a flop, Eid has still become synonymous to Salman release and fans line up to watch the film as early as possible. This year too, fans did not miss their Eidi from Bhaiijan and in turn, also gifted him something big- his highest opener of all times.

Yes, Bharat has even toppled Prem Ratan Dhan Payo's opening number of 40 crores and made a whopping 42.3 crore on Day 1. So, the film is not just Salman's highest Eid opener after Sultan (36.54 crores) and but is also his biggest opener ever!

⭐️ Emerges Salman’s biggest #Eid opener, surpassing *Day 1* biz of #Sultan [₹ 36.54 cr].
⭐️ Emerges Salman’s *biggest opener ever*, surpassing *Day 1* biz of #PremRatanDhanPayo [₹ 40.35 cr].
The success can partly be attributed to a holiday release, but it still fell short of being the highest opener of all times, whose record is currently being held by Thugs of Hindostan! If the film continues to earn money at this pace, it can have the highest opening weekend number, thanks to mid-week release!
