Kidilan padam. Kidilan making. Onnu koodi kaananam, kandirikkum.

 

Sultan is flirting with an all time record on day one. The picture looked pretty clear in the morning with a record looking almost certain on the advance and morning collections. It was looking ro race past the 39 crore nett plus of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo but though it is a national holiday, Eid is eventually going to be tomorrow which has meant a Pre - Eid trend for the film in Muslim centres.



These centres started bumper as the Salman Khan fans came first day first show but the 3pm and 6pm shows were lower being the final day of Ramazan. If it was not for this the film would have set crazy records but this will bring it down more towards the 40 crore nett range. Its going to be a very tight call with the first day of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, it could beat but also short a little due to the muslin centres in Gujarat, Nizam, CP Berar, UP etc.



An all time record would be just extraordinary but even if it falls it a little short it will phenomenal considering pre Eid. East Punjab which is not really affected by Pre Eid is an all time record by 10-15%, West Bengal also looks a record while other circuits are a close call and it will come down to what figure comes in Mumbai as Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was an extraordinary 14.75 crore nett and that is not easy to beat.

 

Njanum kaanum

 

#Sultan [Wed biz / pre-Eid]: ₹ 40 cr+ definitely... 41... 42... 43... It can touch these figures... Final numbers coming up... FANTABULOUS!

 

The Eid festivities commence from today in India... A HISTORIC 5-day opening weekend is on the cards... #Sultan = HURRICANE at the BO.

 

Sultan had a huge first day of around 37-38 crore nett as per early estimates. The film did slow in some areas through the day as Eid was delayed by a day and Ramazan was still on which meant the Muslim audience kept away. This was the case across UP, Bihar, MP, Gujarat and Maharashtra. East Punjab has seen all records fall as it has a limited Muslim audience and the circuit would have only lost 3-5% while many others are 20-30% lower than what they should be.



The film has fallen short of the All Time Record of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo of 39 crore nett but if we take out the Ramazan factor on fair value the number is much higher and that will mean better hold on the second day as that the Muslim audience comes out today. Basically it was a holiday yesterday but the film has not got the full benefit of the holiday due to Ramazan and that will show up in the next few days as collections hold better than other films coming off a big holiday.



The film has smashed records at multiplexes with most multiplexes recording the highest daily figures they have ever seen for any film but the circuit records are very few as the single screen business is well short of films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo , Happy New Year and Dhoom 3. The single screen business has kept the figures of Sultan lower than likes of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in most circuits.
