Salman Khan’s Bharat shattered the opening day expectations set by the box office experts by crossing the 40 crore mark at the ticket windows. Featuring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead, the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial witnessed a drop on the second day, which was quite noticeable and indicated the affected trending due to the mixed public feedback.
On its second day, Bharat earned 31 crores, which is said to be good given the working day factor on Thursday and extraordinary start on the first day.
While speaking in general about the big ticket releases, after a rollicking start on an opening day, the movies are expected to stay stable or at least show a minimal drop on the following day. There are few exceptions like Avengers: Endgame, which managed to stay over 50 crores on opening and the following day.

Tiger Zinda Hai
Riding high on the chartbuster music and entertaining trailer, Tiger Zinda Hai opened terrifically with 34.10 crores coming in and witnessed a growth on second day by collecting another 35.30 crores due to positive response word-of-mouth.
