Released on November 12, a day after Diwali, �Prem Ratan Dhan Payo� reunites Salman with his “Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!” and “Hum Saath-Saath Hai” director Barjatya after a gap of 16 years.
According to a statement, the Hindi version of �Prem Ratan Dhan Payo�, which minted Rs.101.47 crore within three days of its release, collected Rs.28.30 crore on Sunday.
Also starring Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Armaan Kohli and Neil Nitin Mukesh, �Prem Ratan Dhan Payo� narrates the story of a royal family and how an outsider, Prem, played by Salman, tries to mend the broken bridges of the family.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has got a �solid� start but its upcoming collections will determine where the film is heading.
�#PremRatanDhanPayo packed a solid (four-day) weekend, maintaining consistent biz from Friday-Sunday. Monday onwards is crucial for the film. Weekdays will determine where #PremRatanDhanPayo is heading. With no major Hindi film releasing next Friday, should enjoy another good week,� Adarsh tweeted on Monday.
�While the response has been mixed (a commonality with all biggies), the families are patronising the film and that is a big plus. #PRDP,� he added.
�Prem Ratan Dhan Payo�, made on a budget of Rs.60 crore, also released in Tamil and Telugu.
