Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bharat has had a great first day at the box office as it went on to become the second highest Bollywood opener of all time with a Rs 42.3 crore collection. The highest opener so far is Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan. Well, we must say that Bharat has lived up to all the hype over the past few weeks and all the wait since everything has translated into numbers just fine and well, if that's not enough, looks like the second-day collections will reap good results as well.
The early estimates for the second day's collections are out and they are likely to be between Rs 28 to Rs 30 crores making it a Rs 70 crore total. Given the kind of popularity that the actors share and the reviews that have been pouring in, the coming days and the weekend is likely to add up to great numbers as the movie is marching quick towards the 100 crore mark and we wouldn't be surprised if it does so in just a few days. If we might already say it, the film has made good numbers and if we go by what's already out, it will continue to do so.
The movie has seen a total of six decades through different phases and the film has indeed been one of the most awaited so far. While X-Men Dark Phoenix isn't expected to do enjoy as much of a footfall as the Salman Khan and Katrina starrer, numbers for the first week of the film seem to be increasing by the minute.
