Bharat box office collection day 2: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer has taken the box office storm and you should expect multiple records to break in the coming days. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial had got off to a massive release on Wednesday despite competition from Dark Phoenix and continued to dominate on Thursday even though it was a working day. Bharat had earned whopping Rs 42.30 crore on Wednesday, getting the biggest ever Eid opening. It is also the biggest opening for any film in 2019, with Salman Khan starrrer beating Kalank. 

Now, the second day collections are yet to be out but film trade analyst and critic Sumit Kadel believes that it should be more than Rs 25 crore. This will take Bharat's overall collection to over Rs 65 crore within two days. "#Bharat  Day 2- holding quite well today after matnee shows both at big cities & mass belts. Thursday Collection is heading towards ₹ 25 cr nett+, if night shows holds well then film would mint ₹ 30 cr nett," Kadel tweeted. Since the film has released to positive reviews , it is expected to pick up over the weekend as well. 

On Wednesday, the film had earned a whoppping Rs 42.30 crore despite the Indian cricket team playing its first game of the ICC ODI World Cup on the same day against South Africa. According to movie critic and business analyst Taran Adarsh, the first day business was mind boggling across the board, despite tough opposition from the crucial and much-hyped cricket match.

"#Bharat hits the ball out of the park on Day 1...Emerges Salman’s biggest #Eid opener, surpassing *Day 1* biz of #Sultan [₹ 36.54 cr]. Emerges Salman’s *biggest opener ever*, surpassing *Day 1* biz of #PremRatanDhanPayo [₹ 40.35 cr]," Adarsh tweeted. 

However, credit should be given toDark Phoenix, the latest film in X-Men franchise as well, for surviving the Salman mania and earning a decent amount. "#XMen: #DarkPhoenix - which also had a midweek release - braves #Bharat wave... Does pretty well on #Eid holiday... Wed ₹ 3.10 cr Nett BOC [1480 screens]. India biz. Gross BOC: ₹ 3.64 cr. #XMenDarkPhoenix," Adarsh said.

Meanwhile, the actor has also booked next year's Eid slot with the announcement of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah. "IT'S OFFICIAL... Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali... #Inshallah release date finalized: #Eid 2020... SLB teams up with Salman after a long gap... #Inshallah stars Salman and Alia Bhatt. #Eid2020," Adarsh tweeted. Interestingly, Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi is also releasing on the same day.
