After garnering appreciation from the film fraternity, who called Bajrangi Bhaijaan Salman's “best film ever”, the Kabir Khan directorial has managed to enthrall the viewers too.

It collected INR27.25 crore on its opening day and took off in a big way on the Eid, taking its total collection to INR63.75 crore, read a statement.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, narrates the story of a Hindu man on a mission to take a Pakistani girl, who is dumb and mute, back to her country. It chronicles his adventures and experiences faced during his road trip.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film might break the opening weekend collection of Salman's last film Kick, which also released on Eid in 2014.

Ali | 9 years ago | Reply @ETdontblockcomment: He didn't kill him for God's sake, stop being a hypocrite, it was a Damn accident. Accidents happen, If that man weren't sleeping on the road he would have been alive today or poverty would have killed him already. Off with your rubbish!

muhammad hassan akanshi | 9 years ago | Reply Salam seen i never so more wonderful movies of bollywood more better like bajrangi bhaijan.is best performance in the history of indian movie superb Masha'Allah

lol | 9 years ago | Reply @Saira Khan: jealous much??

lol | 9 years ago | Reply @Rehan: If you are a Indian Muslim, then what you said is right If you are Pakistani, please get this in your head that not all Muslims are Pakistanis. There are many other countries that embrace Islam. And NAWAZUDDIN IS A INDIAN. He identifies himself as Indian and embraces India as his country!

Saira Khan | 9 years ago | Reply @goggi (Lahore): The "IRON CURTAIN"? Please go to the other side, for all we care.

Shaheer hamza | 9 years ago | Reply beautiful movie Bajrangi Bhaijan,its a very beautiful movie of Salman Khan

ETdontblockthiscomment | 9 years ago | Reply @zain, you need another 6 lives to become sober from all the Salman Khan kool-aid you've been drinking. Salman Khan killed an innocent man, and was convicted of it. No amount of acting, or fakery is going to change that. You can cry all you like.

smash | 9 years ago | Reply That bad a movie ??

poleman | 9 years ago | Reply Its by far the best movie of salman khan...not to forget harshali malhotra the sweet little baby. The movie itself showing the true colour of India and its diversity...great achievement by production team.

poleman | 9 years ago | Reply @Rehan: He is not yours...he is our own indian...Nawazuddin Siddiqui....

Malik | 9 years ago | Reply Hey ! This Eid was supposed to be Mahira Khan Vs Salman Khan..... what happened to her movie? How many crores?

fania | 9 years ago | Reply Freedom of speech dosen't mean that you can hurt someone else feelings and emotions. *Sulman khan * may not be a saint but if you are then you shouldn't de-grade and exploite him on the basis of humanity. If you hate someone you can say it loud but if your saying hurt others you shouldn't. Before pointing him we should have a look on ourselves, everyone makes mistakes in his life but the maturity is to forgive and forget those mistakes as our religions also taught us to forgive.. If this hurt someone, extremely sorry.

Zain | 9 years ago | Reply @ ETdontblockcomment - Mate you need another 6 lives to grow up.

ETdontblockcomment | 9 years ago | Reply @Karachiwala, Salman Khan was convicted of killing an innocent man due to his recklessness, no amount of spin and "good acting" is going to change that. You talk about hate, there is some real hate. The mafias that funded bollywood made their money through crime and hate.

Saad | 9 years ago | Reply He should have gone to 'Bin Roye' Geddit...geddit???!!! Sorry, i'll get my coat

sauvik | 9 years ago | Reply Salman khan ,watever he is.. Human or being human.. He is adored by millions..regarding the jail incidents,I guess people should think 2wice,coz their own kith n kins might b enjoying liberty at the cost of somebody els's grief.. Its better the movie is discussed rather than pinpointing at the ugly part.. Coz if we really want to c,India is land of loop n potholes.. We need a change,its better we change..

Karachiwala | 9 years ago | Reply @ETdontblockcomment your comments are full of hatred, and this is the very problem with the freedom of speech. You have the freedom to have an opinion as long as it doesn't hurt anyones else. You got the freedom and you start exploiting, the very reason the world thinks Pakistan is not grown up yet, Thanks for proving them right, and once again... Who are you to judge?

Rehan | 9 years ago | Reply One of the best movies I've ever seen. Don't comment if you haven't seen it. If you weren't moved by the film, question whether your still have a heart.

Rehan | 9 years ago | Reply Good Movie But Highlight is one and only our very own 'Chandler Nawab'

Mudassir | 9 years ago | Reply how fake.

Umair | 9 years ago | Reply Love always wins. We have seen many movies based on hatred but only a few on love. The results are evident for everyone to see where the sanity lies. Salam! Namashkar.

kdp | 9 years ago | Reply He is a good actor afterall

Fawad | 9 years ago | Reply @ETdontblockcomment: Talk about character of the movie not Salman Khan who played it. And now see another "Bajrangi", answer to hatred is love, and Hindu-Muslim? All are human first. After watching so many movies and listening to so many incidences, one must admit.... love wins at the end. And only love compassion and empathy is answer to everything. So, don't hate things just for the sake of it.

ETdontblockcomment | 9 years ago | Reply "oh wow ya da aamir khans is crying, wooow soo bollywood yaaa." What a load of nonsense. Salman Khan should be in jail already for what he did in REAL LIFE. The fakery of bollywood, and who has financed the growth of this industry is well known. Finally, there is something massively sinister about this story line. Muslim girl gets lost, the "saintly" brahmin Bajrangi saves the girl. Ever heard of the real life Bajrangi? Babu Bajrangi in Gujarat. Again, ET, dont block this comment if you believe in freedom of speech

goggi (Lahore) | 9 years ago | Reply Yes, we all wept, repeatedly!!! Amazing movie, amazing Salman Khan and above all the amazing sweet little Princess! Love to all the loving humans across the Iron Curtain!
