Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the figures on Twitter and he predicts that the family drama will expectedly cross the 100 crore benchmark on Saturday.
On the second day of the movie, Salman's Prem has fetched numbers which surpass day one collections of movies like
Kick (Rs 26.40 crores) and even
Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 27.25 crores).
The Sooraj Barjatya-directed released on November 12, a day after Diwali and saw a drop in collections on Friday by only 23 percent. But post afternoon on Friday,
PRDP had more fireworks for the box office.
PRDP, which had a 'mind boggling' start, has also collected Rs 10.62 crores at the international markets on Thursday.
PRDP closed day one with box office receipts in the region of Rs 40 crores nett and left behind Shah Rukh Khan's
Happy New Year which released Diwali 2014, recording the biggest first day in Bollywood history. It also marked the biggest single day of all time, defeating the first Sunday figures of
Bajrangi Bhaijaan and
PK which were about Rs 38.50 crores nett. (Also Read:
