Dilwale could have easily collected around Rs. 30 crores approx. Which in turn would have beaten the record set by the latter while comparing ‘Dilwale VS Bajrangi Bhaijaan‘. Nonetheless the highest opening day of all time has been set by another Salman Khan film of this year that is ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ which got a smashing collection of Rs. 39 crores net approx (Rs. 390 million).
