Dangal has had a huge Saturday with collections set to be around 34 crore nett as per early estimates with the film showing a 20% increase in collections from Friday and the total in two days will be around 63 crore nett plus. The continued its extraordinary collections in the North while the rest of the country was also excellent. The places that were not so huge on Friday like Gujarat and West Bengal picked up well on Saturday but can still improve a lot.  The collections at many multiplexes of Delhi NCR and East Punjab saw all time records, in another words they recorded the highest ever collections for a single day beating likes of Main Prem Ki Deewani, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and PK. 

There is a holiday for Christmas tomorrow and it will boost the film a little from a normal Sunday but it would have been great if Christmas fell on Monday as that would enable the film to get real benefit of the holiday. Also the film is reaching capacity levels at multiplexes where it is very strong so if it is to get that big holiday growth on Sunday it will have come from smaller city multiplexes and single screens.

The growth on Saturday of around 20% is excellent and this has ensured a blockbuster film as when such growth comes on Saturday on such a wide release it means there will be a hold on Monday though at what level will only be known on Monday evening.
