Toilet: Ek Prem Katha hit the screens on 11th of August and it’s being loved by the audience. Starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, this movie stresses on the importance of sanitation and hygiene in our country. It has been inspired by Modi’s “Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan” and we must say, the makers have done a wonderful job. Be it the acting or be it the plot, everything seems great. Whenever a film is released, it tries hard to earn big and compete other movies.
When it’s an Akshay Kumar film, we know that it has to be big. Well, let us tell you that in the first weekend itself, the film has broken not 1 or 2, but 6 big records. Moreover, it has broken some records of Hrithik and SRK movies too.
Want to have a look at the list? Here you go…
1. With 13.10 crores on the opening day, Toilet Ek Prem Katha became the 5th highest opener of 2017. It beat Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya and Kaabil which earned 12.25 crores and 10.43 crores respectively on the opening day.
2.Beat SRK’s Jab Harry Met Sejal on the 2nd day. JHMS earned 15 crores on the 2nd day but Toilet Ek Prem Katha earned 17 crores on the 2nd day.
3. Beat Kaabil, Jolly LLB 2 and JHMS in terms of 3-day total. Kaabil collected 38 crores in 3 days, Jolly LLB 2 collected 50.46 crores and JHMS collected 45.75 crores. On the other hand, TEPK collected 51.45 crores in 3 days.
4. Beat the 3rd day collection of Raees and Kaabil. Raees collected 19.95 crores on the 3rd day and Kaabil collected 13.11 crores on the 3rd day. Beating them both, TEPK collected 21.25 crores on the 3rd day. However, we must keep in mind that 3rd day of Raees and Kaabil was Friday (Since they were released on Wednesday).
5. Highest opening weekend for an Akshay Kumar movie in 2017. Jolly LLB was the first Akshay Kumar movie to be released in 2017, but its opening weekend collection was 50.46 crores. TEPL easily beat it with 51.45 crores.
6. Talking about Akshay Kumar movies, this is the 6th movie to get a highest opening (From 2011). “Gabbar is back” was on the 5th position, but now, TEPK has overtaken it.
Hope it continues to break some more records in the coming days. What say?
