Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Has RECORD Weekend

Monday 3rd June 2013 09.30 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has smashed the initial weekend box office record by collecting around the 62-63 crore nett mark. It is the first time that a film has collected over 60 crore nett in three days. The film has had the highest collections ever for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The previous best was the 58.50 crore nett approx total of Dabangg 2

It is noteworthy that such a huge amount has come without an holiday. The film has shown unbelievable trending with growth on Saturday and Sunday from such a huge figure on Friday which means the sky is the limit for the film.

The film did phenomenal business in all circuits with the biggest circuits seeing all weekend records smashed.

Courtesy hotmess from the YJHD thread:

Ranbir Kapoor Breaks Salman Khan's Box Office Record


Over the last 72 hours, Ranbir Kapoor has conquered the box office beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

While the trade was expecting Karan Johar's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to open big, the actual collections have been simply mind-boggling.

On Friday, the film took a cool Rs 19 crore plus opening; making it the second-highest, non-holiday opener, just behind Dabangg 2. The film received positive reviews and a largely encouraging word of mouth response. But large sections of the trade expected a slight drop on Saturday, as is the case with many big films.

But YJHD went against the trend and showed healthy growth on Saturday by collecting more than Rs 20 crore. On Sunday the film added more steam to its victorious run and raked in even bigger numbers (approx Rs 23 crore), making it the first film in the history of Bollywood to have touched the Rs 60 crore mark in its opening weekend in India alone.

This puts YJHD's weekend numbers above Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2, RaOne, Bodyguard and several other biggies that have made it to the 100-crore-club in the last few years.

With the film connecting with the youth in a big way, the trade expects the momentum to continue over the weekdays too and even though YJHD faces competition from a well-promoted Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (next week), the hundred-crore-mark now seems to be just a formality for this romcom.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has also done very overseas and has cemented the award-winning 'Rockstar's' position as a salable solo-hero.

As of now, YJHD has beaten all other 2013 releases by a neat margin.

great news.

I usually do not go see movies in the theatre and especially movies that make no sense like Dabangg and fighting movies but i specifically went to see this movie because living in usa, I love to see Indian scenery in movies that are not shot abroad and a modern day generation love story.

We like to see movies shot in India. Many of my fellow friends went to see it and went for the same reason

I want to know if Ajay Devgan congratulated Biru after this feat. 😉
Afterall he used to be the one who used to ask Ranbir to do commercial movies.
