Box Office: PRDP becomes Salman Khan’s Highest Opening day grosser

Just yesterday as we celebrated the start of a New Year after the festival of lights. We also saw the release of the much talked about and highly anticipated Salman Khan - Sonam Kapoor starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. While the film that is directed by Sooraj Barjatiya, was touted to be one of this year's biggest hits, it did open on a high note. In fact the film witnessed unprecedented advanced booking by the audiences, a trend that is seldom seen.


However, taking a closer look at the film's success, we compare the Opening Day collections of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo to that of Salman Khan's previous releases.
