‘Brahmastra‘ garnered the biggest non-holiday opening day collection, beating pre-pandemic blockbusters ‘Sanju’ ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘Dhoom 3

This seems to be the unanimous view of trade magazines that track box-office collection figures

According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, early estimates indicated that the  movie has collected in the range of Rs 36.50 crore to Rs 38.50 crore on its opening day

The Rs 415-crore movie therefore seems set to break into the Rs 100-crore club at the end of its first weekend, but its big test will be Monday

If it can keep up the momentum, then it promises to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film in a rather difficult year

According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, its first-day earnings have surpassed those of the biggest post-pandemic grosser, ‘Sooryavanshi’

With no major release being scheduled before the upcoming actioner ‘Vikram Vedha‘ on September 30, ‘Brahmastra’ has an unobstructed ride ahead

It has done well in both urban multiplexes and ‘mass belts’
