SAAHO recorded the second highest collections of all time behind BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION as it picked up around 87 crore nett apprx on day one across India. The film did best in Nizam/Andhra with 49 crore nett (including Marathwada and Hindi prints) while Hindi circuits contributed 22.25 crore nett without Marathawada and Hindi in South) while Karntaka/Mysore was 10 crore nett. Tamil Nadu and Kerala did not perform with 3 crore nett and 1 crore nett respectively. Then there is around 1.75 crore apprx total of regional versions in Hindi circuits for an all India total of 87 crore nett.  The GROSS collections will be around 99-100 crore.

Below are the top twenty opening days in India in terms of NETT collections and there are a few Telugu films getting into the top twenty due to lower taxing in the past. The GROSS top twenty will probably see more Hindi films and that will be updated later. Irrespective of this, there is just one Hindi film in the top five and in time Hindi films could struggle to get into the top ten. In the 90's you may have had a couple of non Hindi films in top twenty. In the 70's there would be no non Hindi film in the top fifty and now we are in approaching the 20's and it can be seen how that trend has gone in the last fifty years.
