This monster of an epic has set some new goals for the Salman Khan starrer…
Baahubali’s might is only getting stronger and stronger with each passing day. This highly expensive Indian film has managed to achieve more records than anyone would believe. It was always expected to be massive given its scale but such mammoth collections have left everyone stunned. Now all eyes are on
Salman Khan’s
Bajrangi Bhaijaan which may not be made on a scale as huge as
Baahubali but it is a Salman film whose only purpose is to become a blockbuster. His films never fail to make records but it won’t be easy to match up to Baahubali’s brilliant achievements. So here are five Baahubali records that
Bajrangi Bhaijaan should take on…
1. Highest Opening Day Collection
In 2015,
ABCD 2 till now had the distinction of minting the most on its opening day with 14 crore. Now that’s only for a Hindi film.
Baahubali has managed to go past all kinds of record ever made in Indian cinema. Its opening day collection in India is Rs 50 crore net (including all versions) which is bigger than any Salman, Shah Rukh or Aamir Khan film. In fact, it earned 5.15 crore with its Hindi dubbed version which is a record in itself too. Salman can ensure that it goes beyond 50 crore. How? Remember Ek Tha Tiger? It minted 33 crore on its first day! Koi shaq?!
2. Highest Opening Weekend Collection (Worldwide)
Once the opening day was taken care of,
Baahubali moved on to reign supreme with its opening weekend collection that rests on a phenomenal 153 crores gross, thus beating last year’s
Shah Rukh Khan’s Diwali hoopla
Happy New Year that earned 108 crore in the opening weekend. Bajrangi Bhaijaan too is expected to level the scores here.
3. Breaking the Monday drop trend
An amused Karan Johar had tweeted, “When the Monday exceeds the Friday you know the film has won the hearts of all!!!!! #Baahubali.” And he is right in being so jubilant about it.
Baahubali broke the accepted norm of observing a dip in collections on a film’s first Monday at the box office. The dubbed Hindi version saw no dip in collection on Monday and collected 6.10 crores at the domestic box office. That is more than its Friday collection of 5.15 crore! Salman Khan has a huge task cut out in front of him to surpass that because Monday at times becomes the deciding factor about where a film is heading.
4. Fastest 200 crore worldwide
Baahubali’s race to breaking records is making everyone dizzy in the industry. It is perhaps the only Indian film to enter the 200 crore club in just five days of its release worldwide. Till Tuesday, it had earned 215 crore! Salman Khan’s
EK Tha Tiger had amassed 199 crore and so it doesn’t look like a difficult task for
Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Don’t you think so?
5. Highest opening for an Indian film in the US Box office
Now domestic box office won’t be a big deal for
Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It might be able to give stiff competition to
Baahubali which is still running at the theatres. But overseas will be a challenge when even the US couldn’t help but get spell bound by the grand SS Rajamouli epic.
Baahubali has seen the highest opening in the US for an Indian film at $1 million and wrapped up the weekend with $ 4,245,899 including Thursday’s preview. Salman Khan’s films have done well overseas too and so the wait will be to watch if it manages equal
Bahubaali’s record or may be
