Kesari recorded the highest opening day of 2019 on Holi as it collected around 21 crore nett. The film was boosted by Holi in some places but adversely affected in others. In Gujarat / Saurashtra the collections were the second best after Sanju if we count all the films released in 2018 and 2019 but then a circuit like Bihar where Akshay Kumar is strong could not even collect as much as Luka Chuppi as it was practically shut all day.
Overall though Kesari has got a boost on Holi and like Gully Boy the real value collections will be less than the first day numbers. In terms of real value the top opening days are probably Kesari followed by Total Dhamaal followed by Gully Boy.
There is still to be a huge bumper opener this year and its probably Hollywood that is certain to give the bumper opening with The Avengers coming next month. The top opening days of the year till date are as follows.
