Salman Khan’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ breaks opening day record of

If you thought Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi of Bajrangi Bhaijaan was the epitome of all virtues, Prem is virtue infinite.

The Salman Khan starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo box office collections reached Rs 40.35 crore on opening day (day 1 was Thursday) and this made it the number 1 movie of 2015, leaving everyone behind in its wake.

Sonam Kapoor, did not stop at just Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan. It was back in 1997, when Khan was seen playing double in his comedy film, Judwaa.

Prem soon takes the place of the prince and goes about his princely duties in exactly the opposite way that is expected of him. The plot unfolds further when the real Prince Vijay Singh comes back into the picture.

Barjatya is doing a film with Salman Khan after 16 years.

Aashika Bhatia, as Princess Radhika, is confident and holds her own in several scenes. She has lived that life anyway. How can you compare two children or two parents!

Not only that, Salman has been showering his handsome co-star with a jubilee of compliments by comparing Sonam to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit-Nene. But then I saw “Raanjhanaa” and I loved the Indian-ness and purity that Sonam portrayed in the film.

If there is one reason to catch the film, it is Salman Khan who provides quite a bit of humor and makes the film watchable in parts despite its dated premise.

Salman Khan, who is a pleased individual from club “No kissing on-screen”, once had consented to bolt lips on the silver screen.

If Prem Ratan Dhan Payo 2nd day collection occurs to be anywhere above Rs 25 cr, it would take the film’s 2 day total collection accumulating in the range of Rs 65-68 cr. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

“Prem Leela” has a feel of the 90s, and celebrates the festive day of Dusshera but with a filmy style.

Moving forward, “Jalte Diye” is the next track, the Ghazal like slow romantic song focuses on Maithili confessing her love to Prem. Other tracks include, “Aaj Unse Milna Hai”, “Halo Re”, “Tod Tadaiyya”, “Bachpan Kahan?’, “Murli Ki Taanon Si” and ‘Aaj Unse Kehna Hai”. Also, one may find an obsolete presentation of the film, yet the content seems neat and clean. As per the estimation the budget of film is near about 80 crore-100 crore and the makers of the PRDP is prudly inform that this film will cross the Budget record. This is the highest opening of Salman Khan’s career and the all time second highest opening in the history of Bollywood after Shahrukh Khan’s last year blockbuster Happy New Year. “These three weeks of mine I could not do anything because of promotions, so let’s see in 10 days how much difference can be seen”, Salman said during the promotions of his film “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” at a jewellery store here. It should be somewhere around Rs 35-40 crore (today) as per early estimates.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh told Press Trust of India that the opening was phenomenal across the country. In fact the film that has been in the news for the past few months witnessed an unprecedented advance booking rate across the country. I have fortunately known Salman as I had worked with him for 20 days during Saawariya.
