'Agneepath' breaks box office record!

A few stars dare to venture close to Salman Khan when it comes to box office. Well, Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt with added support from Rishi Kapoor have just about managed the feat at the box office on the first day of Agneepath.

The film opened to a mind-blowing response from the audiences at box office; long queues could be seen at multiplexes as people jostled to buy the tickets. The occupancy on Thursday ranged between 90 percent to packed houses. In fact, the advance booking of the tickets has set the cash registers ringing and considering that the film has a four-day weekend, it will doubtlessly emerge as the FIRST BLOCKBUSTER of 2012.

But here’s the crucial point. Records do matter. Though the film has wowed the critics and audiences alike, it has, as an added bonus, apparently broken the box office record for the highest first-day collection ever for any Hindi film.

So far, Salman Khan’s Bodyguard held the coveted record with the first-day collection of Rs. 21 crore. Now, the good news is that Agneepath has surpassed it with a first day collection of Rs. 25 crore.

The distributors and the producers are ecstatic over the response to Agneepath.

The film’s lead actress Priyanka Chopra even tweeted: “Yay thank u everyone! #agneepath day one 25cr ! Unprecedented! Feels sooo awesome! Team agneepath u rock!”

Congratulations to the cast and crew and the makers of Agneepath. The film has set a storm at the box office.
