Salman Khan starrer'Sultan' opened in close to 4352 screens in India and 1100 screens overseas. Film has everything going for it, from release on Eid to massy dialogues to top star cast. And it lived upto all hype!
Film opened to almost 70% opening and it seems that it was going to run to capacity throughout the day. This was clear sign that film would challenge all time day one records for sure. But film was slower from afternoon onwards as Eid affected the collections in certain parts of country. Film collected 36.54 cr nett on day one. Film was 3rd behind 44.97 cr nett day one record of'Happy New Year' and 41.75 cr nett of PRDP.
Film collected 3.04 million$(20.5 cr) on day one in overseas which is fantastic considering mid week release. Film collected highest ever opening day number in Pakistan(2.2 cr, 3.45 cr PKR) and Gulf(1.4 million$). Film took outstanding start yesterday too and it collected 37.20 cr nett as single screens were lot better than day one. Film was superb across the board and now next two days will decide its fate.
Film has two day total of 74.73 cr nett and overseas total was 38-39 cr plus. Film crossed 100 cr domestic gross in two days and 141-145 cr worldwide gross. Film started well today too and it will cross 31-32 cr nett today as working day will affect to an extent. Mammoth blockbuster!

Sultan and its huge opening this Eid is nothing surprising. Every time Salman Khan has released his film on the festive occasion of Eid, records have fallen like a house of cards, producers have earned money and paying audience has gone home happy.
With Sultan he has another ace up his sleeve — a film which is unlike a typical Salman film, a tight script, rousing drama and excellent performances all around, especially from Anushka Sharma.(Sultan review: This is an Eid gift from Salman, Anushka)
