While the whole world and especially Bhai fans were eagerly waiting for his Eid release Sultan, piracy organisations have allegedly leaked the most awaited movie of the year, Salman Khan-Anushka Sharma-starrer ‘Sultan’. Yash Raj Films is the most featured studio in the top five list with three films to its credits – Sultan, Ek Tha Tiger and Dhoom 3. “This one’s gonna be a HUGEEEE opener!”, trade analyst Taran Adarsh said. The dominance of Sultan can be judged by the fact that it remained strong even after a record-breaking opening day. Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma are doing the Lead Male and Female Roles.

Multiplexes had a great time to earn more from the film, and that’s why they are making more than 12 shows a day, and most of the night shows are already booked and sold out.
The movie became the highest opening grosser of the year, with a collection of Rs. 36.54 cr on first day and has minted Rs 37.20 crores on the second of its release as well.
“Another filmmaker Kabir Khan, who has worked with Salman Khan in producing hit films, posted: “#Sultan delivers a solid punch. Salman’s brother, actor Arbaaz Khan and his rakhi sister Shweta Rohira, ex-wife of actor Pulkit Samrat, were also present.
The first half of Sultan has been completely gripping, entertaining, engaging and interesting. The film will easily cross Rs 40 crore on Wednesday. “Rathi predicted that the sports drama film will do Rs 150 crore business”, he added.
Meanwhile, with Dabangg 2, Salman ventured into Christmas territory, usually reserved for Aamir Khan. The wrestler named Sultan portrayed by Salman Khan had a tough time getting to high platforms, thereby proving his mettle there.
