Salman Khan is back this Eid and with a bang. But unlike most his other releases, Bajrangi Bhaijaan shows his Being Human side over his Dabangg debonair attitude. And that has worked wonders for the superstar. With critics and audiences' reception alike, a positive word of mouth has ensued. The film has benefited from the same and has raked in around Rs 102 crore in its opening weekend itself. 

Bajrangi Bhaijaan brings back the hit jodis of Salman Khan-Kabir Khan (after Ek Tha Tiger), Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor (after Bodyguard) and Salman Khan-Nawazuddin Siddiqui (after Kick). The film had collected in the range of Rs 27.25 crore on its opening day and added around Rs 36.50 crore on second day, taking its two day total to a whopping Rs 63.75 crore. On Sunday, the film saw more growth at the ticket counters and netted Rs 38.75 crore at the box office. This is by far the highest single day collections for any Salman Khan film. Also, this is the fastest Salman starrer to enter the 100 crore club. 

Previously, Kick had entered the 100 crore bracket in 5 days, the record for any Salman flick. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has out-perfomed all other Salman films, in terms of pace and numbers at the box office. With that, the total opening weekend collections of the film stand at a mammoth Rs 102.50 crore. Now, it needs to be seen how the film fares on the weekdays. The movie will be enjoying free run for another week and half until Ajay Devgn-Tabu starrer Drishyam hits theatres. 

Given that it has already overtaken Kick's previous opening week record for Salman, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is on its way to become the biggest Salman film ever. Will it also overtake PK's collections? Let's wait and watch.
