Filmmakers generally talk about a film collecting Rs 150 – 200 Crores in its lifetime business but ‘RRR’ could do that on day 1 of its release. Rajamouli could break his record with a margin of Rs 30 crores.
If you have to check the top 5 best opening movies in the country right now, you’ll end up seeing only Rajamouli’s topping the chart. If ‘RRR’ stands in the first place by collecting over Rs 180 crores gross on its opening day, ‘Baahubali – 2’ stands next collecting Rs 121 crores on its opening day. Films that come next include as shown below.
Top 5 opening day grosser in India
RRR – 158 – 180 crores (Gross)
Baahubali 2 – 121 crores
‘Saaho’ – 88 crores,
2.0 – 63 crores
‘War’ – 54 crores
Thugs of Hindostan – 53 crores
Combining its Overseas figures, ‘RRR’ is like a monster that looted the box-office there more than the local films in some areas. The combining figure of the domestic Day 1 with overseas is yet another set by ‘RRR’, which was earlier set by Rajamouli himself with ‘Baahubali – 2’.
