It is fair to say that 'Animal' will sell almost 4 lakh tickets in the national cinema chains for the first day, and it needs to be seen whether it manages to go past Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer 'War' as it had sold 4.10 lakh tickets.
All India, 'Animal' has so far sold 7,45,992 tickets, grossing Rs 19.7 crore for the opening day.
On the other hand, Meghna Gulzar's 'Sam Bahadur', starring Vicky Kaushal, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, has so far sold 57,888 tickets in India.
Currently, the record of most advance ticket sales is held by Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ as it had sold over 5.57 lakh tickets for the first day. SRK's ‘Pathaan’ is at the second spot with 5.56 lakh ticket sales.
Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-starrer ‘War’ (4.04 lakh tickets) is at the third spot, and it is followed by Aamir Khan's ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ (3.46 lakh tickets), and Salman Khan's ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ (3.4 lakh tickets).
Speaking of Ranbir Kapoor, his biggest hit till date is Rajkumar Hirani's ‘Sanju’ as it grossed nearly Rs 600 crore worldwide.
