When you look at previous Diwali releases, it is always the second day that clocks better numbers than the first day. Hence it is a very smart move to release this film on Friday, which will not only give them record-breaking numbers but also making sure the numbers will remain higher than the other films that release after Happy New Year.

Shah Rukh Khan’s films have a certain assurance and film-goers trust that he always serves up something exceptional. Day one’s collections will cross Rs 45 crore and the film will not only be the fastest Rs 100-crore movie but the fastest Rs 200-crore film to date as well.

Saying that the film will see massive numbers is an understatement. It is all the rage already. First-day numbers will cross Rs 40 crore all-India and in Rajasthan, it will be close to Rs 2 crore. And every circuit will see new box-office records. The film releases on Friday and since Diwali is in Thursday, everyone will rush in to see the movie.
Vasudev Chachan, Sunny Films, Rajasthan
We have already seen a glimpse of what the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone jodi can do at the ticket window. Shah Rukh Khan says in the promo, ‘picture toh abhi baaki hai, mere dost’. If the trailer has been such a massive hook, imagine how much business the film will pull in. Day one will be record-breaking and the weekend will be superlative. We can barely wait for Friday.
PS Ramanathan, Rajshree Pictures, CP
The film has Farah Khan directing Shah Rukh Khan and we have already seen what this pair is capable of. Their movies are larger than life and the movie has emotions as its backbone. The first-day numbers will be record-breaking as will the weekend and week’s collections. Lifetime collections will be more than Rs 250 crore. This Diwali will be a Happy New Year indeed.
Debashish Dey, Aum Moviez, West Bengal
People have two festivals this week – Thursday is Diwali and Friday Happy New Year. No other film has generated the kind of anticipation that this film has. Day one will be humongous, above Rs 40 crore, to say the least. This is another glorious feather in Shah Rukh Khan’s cap.
