Salman Khan's Bharat scores big on opening day, makes Rs 42.3 crore

Bharat is the biggest opener of the year from Bollywood, and the biggest opener ever for Khan

After a tepid showing at the box office on Eid last year, Salman Khan can look for some redemption this year as his latest film Bharat exceeded all trade expectations with a Rs 42.3-crore opening day. The film, which released mid week, stars Khan in the titular role, alongside Sunil Grover, and Katrina Kaif, the female lead.

Incidentally, Khan’s last blockbuster came in 2017, when he starred alongside Kaif in Tiger Zinda Hai which was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, who has also helmed Bharat.

This is the third outing for the actor-director duo, the first being 2016’s hit film Sultan. All
