Padmaavat has seen a good opening at the Box Office, what with 19 crores* coming on the day of release. Though there were talks of record-breaking start and stuff alike, that was never going to happen for the film as it would have been too much to ask for. The signs were there on the paid preview night itself when the occupancy was good but not extraordinary, hence resulting in 5 crores coming in. Moreover, with prevailing tension around the film’s release, it was bound to have an impact on Thursday as well when it saw a full-fledged arrival.
Nonetheless, the good news is that the film has turned out to be the biggest opener ever for Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shahid Kapoor (Deepika Padukone has seen much bigger opening though with films like Happy New Year and Chennai Express).
This is how the best opening day collections for them stand:
