According to Pinkvilla, trade reports claim that it has collected Rs 133.50 crores pan India on day 1 itself. The film has got the company of positive reviews and a huge number of screens that might pave the way for it to cross many more records at the box-office.
After getting postponed many times due to the pandemic, the much-awaited film was finally released yesterday (April 14). Reports suggest that it has become the biggest box-office opener of all times.
As of now, ‘Baahubali 2’ and ‘RRR’ are the top openers with a difference of less than a crore in their collections and now ‘KGF 2’ is getting added to the competition.

These numbers are almost double the opening numbers for ‘Baahubali 2’, ‘RRR’, and ‘James’. The film took over Rs 15 crore in Bengaluru city only while the previous openers collected the same amount in the full state.
