Bharat has marked a huge first-day collection of around Rs. 43 crores which would also be the highest opening day collection ever for a Salman Khan film, beating the numbers of his own film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Bharat has also earned the second highest collection of all times for a Hindi film after Thugs Of Hindostan which raked a moolah of Rs. 50 crores at the box office.

The strong story which is not only an entertainer but a soulful journey of a man and a nation along with groovy music made Bharat win hearts on its first day itself. The numbers are huge all over the Hindi film market with even single screens witnessing an extraordinary turnout from the fans waiting to see the Salman extravaganza. The collections of some cities from Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh to name a few are coming in as the highest ever.

Touted to be the ‘biggest film of all times’, Bharat is on its way to set a new benchmark. Bharat is produced by Atul Agnihotri, Alvira Agnihotri, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar under the banner of Reel Life Production Pvt Ltd. and Salman Khan Films, presented by T-Series. The film is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language historical period drama film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
