Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone's Happy New Year has become the highest first day opener ever after amassing a humongous Rs 44.62 crore on its opening day. It has easily surpassed the first day collections of Aamir Khan's Dhoom: 3, that released last year.
Numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani credits this success to the combination of SRK's good fortune at box office and Farah Khan's release strategy.
"Shah Rukh Khan has two of the best numbers in Bollywood, 2 (Moon) and 6 (Venus). 3, 6, 9, is a family. Happy New Year adds to 3 for No.9 Farah Khan who chose 15th (6) to launch HNY music. She could have released the film on 23rd, a Diwali to get another holiday and could have eyed for an additional Rs 25 crore that day but waited for 24th (6). Also notice the upward sliding title like a plane taking off, which signifies success," Jumaani shares with Indian Express Online.
