Releasing on November 29, 2.0 had emerged as the highest opening day grosser in Indian cinema this year. The record has held by Aamir Khan’s ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ (ToH), which had a pan-India opening day earning of around Rs 52.25 crores.
2.0 is now only behind ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ in the list of highest opening day grosses of all-time. The Rajamouli directorial had earned a nett amount of Rs 121 crore on the first day.
Unlike how its usually for big star films, 2.0 was released mid-week on Thursday but it still has the advantage of an extended opening weekend. The movie is expected to shatter several other records in the coming days. Lyca Productions have invested Rs 600 crore on 2.0, which easily makes it the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema. With this phenomenal initial response, the movie is most certain to continue it’s blockbuster run in more number of screens.
