Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Bharat hit the theatres on Wednesday on the occasion of Eid. It's been two days since the release of the movie and it has already earned Rs. 73.30 crore. Salman beat his own record with this Ali Abbas Zafar directorial after the film managed to rake over Rs. 42.30 crore, which is considered as Salman's biggest opener of his career so far. Bharat also went on to become the third highest opener of all time when it comes to Hindi movies. It's the third day of the film today and we can't wait to find out if it will manage to enter the Rs. 100 crore club by the end of the day.

We won't be surprised if it does. On the second day, Bharat saw a normal decline because it was a working day. Hence the footfall in multiplexes lowered when compared to the first day. However, the single screens continued to hold fort as it saw good occupancy in evening and night shows. All Bharat needs is about Rs. 23 crore to make it to take its total to Rs. 100 crore on the third day.

The box-office collection of Bharat is not at all surprising. The film, which is a period drama opened to average reviews. Despite that, Salman's legion of fans showed their loyalty by giving their love to the film. The superstar didn't forget to thank his followers as he took to Twitter and wrote:
