2016 have been a dull year when it comes to the box office initial. Only one film Sultan managed to get a bumper opening and then there were some films that opened well which include Fan, Rustom and Baaghi.
Now all eyes are now on one of the biggest releases of this year MS Dhoni Biopic. It was released today in around 3600 screens. The early trends suggest that film has taken an extraordinary opening.
The overall occupancy in the morning shows was 55% and in the multiplexes, it was around 65-70% which is terrific. The opening was best in Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad. South India has registered the biggest opening of the year. Hyderabad has almost 90-100% occupancy in the morning shows which shows the craze of MS Dhoni in the area. Delhi is faring well however in other parts of North India it has an average opening.
The film has literally stormed the Hyderabad box office where it has taken a huge opening. The occupancy in the morning shows was recorded up to as high as 90%. The opening is the second best of this year beating all Bollywood films except Sultan.
Going by the early trends it looks like that MS Dhoni The Untold Story 1st day collection will cross 20 crore. The evening shows can push the film to go past that mark also.

The film has surpassed expectations on an opening day. However, it will be interesting to see how it will it fare as the day will progress. Normally with such start, big films can drop in the noon or evening. But MS Dhoni biopic can be an exception and if that happens, only sky will be the limit.
Also, tell us what are your thoughts about MS Dhoni The Untold Story day 1 box office collection update in the comments section.

20cr sure ........
Very good start ! It remains to be seen wether the film can grow over the weekend and sustain, because its high budget will be a problem if WOM isn't very good. Hope for the best !
I seen movie....its terrefic...I think best biopic till date...well done sushat Singh and neeraj pandey...
watched FDFS of this movie. the struggle of MSD to get a place in Team India and his love stories with Priyanka and Sakshi are performed very beautifully. movie is quite big because of some unnecessary scenes. Otherwise a very excellent movie. Sushant Rajpoot is damn good. A real gift for a true MSDian.
as per collection, this movie will surely collect more than FAN.
and as per acting, Sushant Singh Rajpoot as MSD is better than SRK in FAN.
Again you have started srk and Salman....
On that sense srk happy new year 45cr and Salman prdp40.... So srk is always greater than Salman.... again from your side bakwaas comments.....
And Salamon The Criminal Khan needs 100years more to learn such kind of acting... Awsome acting by Sushanth...
HNY's 45 crore?? how can a movie which has less ticket price than SULTAN and stands no where in footfalls can manage to get 45 crores on the opening day?? there is always a slight difference between trade and official figures, like from 25-50 lakhs or maximum 1-2 crores. but a huge difference of 9 crore rupees between trade and producer figures??? how??
the actual collection of HNY was nearly 36 crore. and PRDP is above than that.
