Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to reveal the staggering box office collections of Bajrangi Bhaijaan:

The film, which crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in its first three days itself (India collections), is still pretty strong at the box office. After Bajrangi Bhaijaan, films like Masaan and Drishyam have hit the screens, but Salman fans are still flocking to the theatres to catch a show of his Eid release. The film opened to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and huge numbers at the theatres. It has fared well overseas too.

Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Harshaali Malhotra in key roles, apart from Salman, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has an India-Pakistan theme at its core. In the film, Salman's eponymous character stumbles upon a mute Pakistani child, who is lost in India. Thereafter, Bajrangi Bhaijaan doesn't rest till Munni (the child) is escorted back to her parents in Pakistan. The message of peace and love, in addition to Salman Khan, are thought to be among the major factors that contributed to Bajrangi Bhaijaan's success at the cash registers.
When the film hit the screens, SS Rajamouli's epic war drama provided stiff competition to it.
