The happiness of Bollywood trade pundits on Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ equalling the record of ‘Baahubali 2’ with regard to the highest ticket pricing Rs. 2400 is short lived as the opening collections of the Superstar’s Friday release weren’t up to the expectations.
‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ collected Rs. 15 crores turning the fourth biggest opener of 2017 but unable to beat the records of ‘Baahubali 2’, ‘Tubelight’ (Salman Khan) and ‘Raees’ (Shahrukh Khan). While the above said films collected more than Rs. 20 crore plus, ‘Baahubali 2‘ alone collected Rs. 40 crores and plus.
It isn’t an easy thing to beat ‘Baahubali 2’ opening day record as the Rajamouli’s epic drama. Any movie competing with ‘Baahubali2’ must have a very engaging concept that can pull crowds to theatres. For the time being, even the biggest grosser must be satisfied with the next positions after BB2.
