As per the expectations and its trend, it looks like the film will earn Rs 150 cr in the extended 1st-weekend at the box office. It will be interesting to see how would India vs Australia Cricket World Cup 2019 match affect the collection of Bharat on fifth day. India vs South Africa match couldn’t do much damage, though.
Given the word of mouth, it still looks like that Salman starrer will be able to collect over 150 crores in the first weekend. Besides Salman and Katrina, the film stars Disha Patani, Sunil Grover, Nora Fatehi, Jackie Shroff, and Sonali Kulkarni in important roles. It was released to around 4700 screens in India and 1300 screens overseas.
