Today, the box office counters were graced with the much-anticipated release of the year, Rowdy Rathore. The film, Prabhudheva's second directorial venture in Hindi, has mesmerised audiences from north to south. The upshot is that it's tagged as a mass entertainer but has impressed the classes as well. Consequently, the movie has drawn a fabulous response at many multiplex chains as well.

Rowdy Rathore has already earned a place alongside Bodyguard and Agneepath, and, mind you, the latter were released on national holidays. Thus, Rowdy Rathore is being dubbed as one of the biggest non-holiday openers of all time. The film also marks Akshay Kumar's second impressive outing this year, the first being Housefull 2, which crossed the Rs 100-crore mark at the ticket window.

In Mumbai, Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines says, "Rowdy Rathore took a fabulous opening and is expected to have a great weekend ahead. The all-India Day 1 NBOC should be around Rs 15 crore and in Mumbai Rs 6-7 crore."

In Gujarat, Ajay Bagbai of Rajvi Trade Link says, "The film has opened to very good numbers. All-India collections on its first day will be around Rs 15 crore and in Gujarat-Saurashtra, Rs 1 crore."

In Delhi-UP, Sanjay Ghai of Mukta Arts adds, "Rowdy Rathore is a fantastic film and has drawn a super response in the Delhi-NCR belt. The first-day collections will close at Rs 3.5-4 crore and nationally Rs 15 crore."

In East Punjab, Surendra Saluja of Lakshya Movies says, "Being a massy film, Rowdy Rathore has fabulous single-screen numbers. It also has impressive multiplex numbers. It has been assigned 16 shows a day in our multiplexes. Having opened at 70 to 75 cinemas, it is expected to cross Rs 1 crore on its opening day."

In CI, Manoj Jain of Neha Movies says the film opened at around 95 cinemas and is expected to collect Rs 60-65 lakh today. "It has a firm grip on the box office for the weekend as well."

In Mysore, B H Basha of Bahar Enterprises is equally jubilant, "Single-screen collections are far better than the multiplex numbers. Rowdy Rathore has opened at around 55 cinemas in the Mysore region and is expected to close day one at around Rs 35-40 lakh."

In Bihar, Rakesh Singh of Maa Sona Pictures says the film has had an extraordinary opening in his territory. "The Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha starrer has created a buzz in our circuit. The film opened at around 128 cinemas, which is the second-highest in our region. It will earn around Rs 50 lakh today."

In Orissa, Jeetu Khandelwal of Movie Pioneers concludes, "Rowdy Rathore has drawn a response akin to that of Bodyguard and Agneepath. It's spectacular! The film opned at around 90 cinemas and is expected to wrap its first day at Rs 20 lakh. We are definitely looking forward to the weekend."
