Brahmastra First Day Early Estimates; Sets Box Office On Fire

Mumbai, September 9 - The most anticipated Hindi film of this year Brahmastra has finally hit the screens. The film has been released on over 5000 screens in India making it one of the biggest releases ever in Indian cinema. The Ranbir Kapoor-fronted epic magnum opus also starring Alia Bhatt was in production for many years and the wait is finally over today.

The film took an excellent start in the morning shows with around 40% occupancy nationwide. This is the biggest opening post-pandemic for any Hindi film and that too by miles. The biggest reason for the earth-shattering opening is the trailer and song response and the subsequent promos which evoked huge anticipation among the audience. This type of visual is never seen before in any Indian film.



The opening is extraordinary in most places with Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Hyderabad leading the way followed by Bengaluru and Pune. The mass centers like Bihar, Rajasthan, and Central India have also seen huge crowds and they will get going from tomorrow onwards. The film has a huge release down South and even there the numbers are fantastic. The opening day number in southern states might come the highest ever beating Dhoom3.

The early estimate collections suggest around 36cr net box office collections in all the versions, including an estimated approx. 32 crores in Hindi which is an extraordinary collection especially when it is coming on a non-holiday. The highest nonholiday opening day record is also with Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju at around 34.50cr net and Brahmastra has a shot at that record if night shows outperform in the metros. Here we are talking about the Hindi version only as in all versions the collections are likely to cross Sanju.

The industry is in a joyous mood after the mega opening day of Brahmastra. The opening is coming after huge negativity though that is mainly on social media only and if the content is exciting enough the audience will definitely go to come cinemas.

After the huge opening today the film might drop tomorrow as the reports are mixed for the film but the drop should be covered on the next day with all India holiday like Sunday. The weekend numbers are going to be extraordinary once again and this film has all the potential to hit 100cr net in the weekend which will be the first for Hindi film post-pandemic. The mass centers tomorrow might show growth while the metros might show a little drop.

Stay tuned...
