Box Office Prediction Day 1
Now, following the advance bookings and the wide release that Ranbir’s film is going to witness, it holds the chance to become the biggest money spinner for a Hindi film at least for day 1.
As per the current trend, it could take a start of over 25 Cr and it will not be exaggerating to say if it beats day 1 of Sooryavanshi (Rs 26.29 Cr) to become the highest grosser opening day post-pandemic.
With this, it will also cross the RRR (Hindi) opening day collections of Rs 22.07 Cr, however, beating the KGF2 (Hindi) Day 1 collection would become an uphill task for the film. All will depend on spot bookings, let’s wait for how much more it adds in advance till Thu night.
