M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story has taken the 15th highest opening of all time and all the films above it are all cast films. In terms of non holidays there are five films above it and they are Dhoom 3, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, PK, Kick and Dilwale making it the sixth highest non holiday opening day. It shows that a story on a popular figure of the present time can have huge interest among the public but obviously the film has to also look good through the trailer. The Dhoni factor has overridden the cast factor as far as box office is concerned and that too by a huge margin. The top opening days of all time are as follows..
