New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’ has hit the theatres and is minting crores with every passing day. The movie was one of the most avidly awaited movies of the year and looks like it is doing justice to all the expectations of the audience.

The movie has been in the limelight since its inception and bagging a lot of attention much before its release.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, ‘Sultan’ also features Anushka Sharma in the lead role.

It’s been just three days of release, and ‘Sultan’ has already shattered EIGHT box office records.

Here’s a list:

Highest opening day grosser of 2016
Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’ did a fantabulous business on its opening day. The movie earned Rs 36.54 on its day of release. The movie became the highest opening day grosser of 2016 so far. Earlier the position was held by Shah rukh Khan’s ‘Fan’ which collected Rs 19.20 crore on its first day.

Highest earning sports-based film
