#Yesterday collection of bajrangi bhaijan update
Update 26 July: Box office is unpredictable and how! Until yesterday, the trends were suggesting that Bajrangi Bhaijaan would fall behind the total of PK, but the Saturday collections of the Salman Khan starrer has shocked and surprised the trade once again! The film is now certain to break the record of Dhoom 3 and could do so by the end of its 2nd week itself.
So it’s probably safe to say now that PK will remain the highest grosser of all time and Bajrangi Bhaijaan would be looking at becoming only the second 300 crore grosser.
Update 25 July: The difference between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan is down to just Rs 36 lakhs! After Day 8, PK still had one holiday (New Year), one open week before the release of ‘Tevar’ and showed better trends. The tremendous interest is because Salman has never delivered the highest grosser of all time after ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ and the last time he featured in a film directed by Kabir Khan (Ek Tha Tiger), it fell just 3 crore short of ‘3 Idiots’, which was coincidentally an Aamir Khan – Rajkumar Hirani film! PK vs Bajrangi Bhaijaan has also become the most viewed page on our website this year. Bajrangi Bhaijaan now needs a record breaking second weekend to have any chance of becoming the all time highest grosser. PK is also the film that showed better trends in its first week at the box office.
But factors aside, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was leading by Rs 15 crore at the end of 5 days, but now the difference is just Rs 1.76 crore. To Salman and Kabir Khan’s credit, PK enjoyed a national holiday for Christmas on Day 7 of its release. Update 24 July: The battle for the highest grosser of all time is now intensifying as there is hardly any difference between Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK at the end of Week 1. Those holidays could eventually be the difference, even though Bajrangi Bhaijaan still leads PK by around Rs 14 crore at the end of Day 6. The Rajkumar Hirani directed film held on strongly on Wednesday, showed a small growth in business on Thursday and then had plenty of holidays (Christmas, Sunday, New Year) in Week 2. Update 23 July : For the first time since its release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has fallen short of the Wednesday collections of Aamir Khan’s PK. In fact, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has beaten PK on each of its first 5 days at the box office. While the Salman starrer has collected Rs 151.05 crore in 5 days, the industry’s highest grosser had collected Rs 135.79 crore. Update 22 July: Bajrangi Bhaijaan continues to lead PK at the end of Day 5. Bookmark it and visit us again to find out if Bajrangi Bhaijaan can become the highest grosser of all time. The day-wise comparison between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be interesting to follow in the next few days. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has performed much better than PK at single-screens, so the all India average ticket price of the Salman starrer is lower. The multiplex ticket prices of both films were about the same, although at select premium multiplexes the tickets of Bajrangi Bhaijaan were more expensive. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has two open weeks, after which Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam and Ritesh Deshmukh’s Bangistan are scheduled to hit screens. PK also had the advantage of 3 open weeks at the box office, before the release of Tevar in Week 4. The days in between were holidays for many schools and offices. PK, on the other hand, had plenty of holidays starting with Christmas (7th day of release) and New Year.
