Ever since the fad of the 100 crore club, 200 crore club, and other coveted clubs has taken off, interest and excitement among box-office enthusiasts have increased immensely. So here’s the list of the biggest openers in the history of Bollywood!
The list includes 30 Bollywood films with the highest opening-day collection in history. This collection is from the Indian box office only and includes net figures. Also, please note that some of these opening-day collections include contributions from other languages, such as Tamil and Telugu, for pan-Indian films from Bollywood (for example, Jawan, Pathaan, Dangal, Brahmastra, and many others).
Also, it should be noted that the entire list includes the opening-day collections of Hindi versions of pan-Indian films from down South (for example, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion).
