Top 10 Bollywood openings, Bodyguard heads list, Salman Khan's movies in top 3
Salman power has revved up the box-office once again. The actor, currently recuperating after a complicated surgery for a nerve disorder in the US, has much to celebrate. He has only himself to compete with, as new release Bodyguard collects a jaw-dropping Rs 22 crore on its first day.
Bodygaurd
The action-packed film has crowd-pleasing shots of Salman's bare torso and the mandatory shirt-ripping scene. Starring Kareena Kapoor, the largely one-man show released on Eid-ul-Fitr on Wednesday, August 31. Trade analysts predict the film will cross Rs 100 crore in collections in the first week.
Ready
In June this year, another Salman starrer brought the much needed respite to the box office grossing Rs 41 crore over the opening weekend. Ready earned Rs 13.5 crore on its opening day. It's officially a super-duper hit collecting a whopping Rs 120 crore at the box-office.
Dabangg
Salman's Dabangg which opened on Eid in 2010, netted Rs 14.5 crore on opening day. Described by trade analysts as “earth-shattering”, the film went on to collect Rs 213 crore worldwide and was widely declared an all-time blockbuster in the second week of its release.
3 Idiots
Aamir's delightful 2009 film, 3 Idiots, shattered a slew of records on its release. The film collected 13 crore on its opening day. Made on a budget of Rs 45 crore, the film hustled to top rankings in the US market as well - turf held by Shah Rukh Khan.
Tees Maar Khan
We all expected Farah Khan's full-on masala flick Tees Maar Khan to open big, and that it did, netting Rs 12.82 crore on day one. The film was unable to sustain the initial euphoria though, despite Katrina Kaif belly dancing to Sheila ki jawaani.
Raajneeti
Last year's summer blockbuster Raajneeti collected Rs 10.33 crore on its opening day. Prakash Jha's political thriller meets-epic recovered its Rs 40 crore cost in the first weekend itself.
Kites
The huge buildup around Hrithik Roshan's Kites powered it to a hit opening day collection of Rs 10.08 crore. But Kites drew flak for its floundering plot and predictable turns. Even the romance between Hrithik and Mexican actress Barbara Mori, touted as a selling point, failed to take off and was widely panned.
Ghajini
Everything about Aamir Khan's Ghajini (2008) created a buzz - from Aamir's widely emulated haircut to its raw violence. Ghajini easily clinched to a record opening day, collecting Rs 9.13 crore.
Housefull
The 2010 comedy, Housefull sailed to a big opening of Rs 9.32 crore on the first day. However, critics panned the film for its weak humour, many even saying the attempt at humour was lame and painful.
Golmaal 3, 2010's Diwali release, lived up to the zany comedy of the previous two films, netting Rs 8.72 crore on its opening day. The star-studded film outpaced the other big Diwali release – the Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar retro flick, Action Replayy.
