Agneepath has taken an extraordinary opening all over India and is on course for a record first day going by the unbelievable initial. The film has taken the biggest start in recent history in Mumbai city.
Mumbai city never opens to huge occupancies at multiplexes as there are too many multiplexes in the city but Agneepath has managed a 80-85% opening which is huge for the city as Bodyguard was in the 70% region.
The rest of the country has seen a huge 95-100% opening be it North India or South India. Its the first time a Hrithik Roshan starrer has taken a bumper opening since Dhoom 2 released in 2006.
The Bodyguard first day record is 20.60 crore nett and the advantage for Bodyguard was that its second day was a holiday at places and these places showed big collections in late evening and night shows.

‘Happy Republic Day; Agneepath Off To A Flying Start
Karan Johar’s Agneepath, which released today (January 26, 2012) has taken a bumper opening at the box-office.
With audiences lining up in huge numbers at multiplexes and single screen cinemas all across India on the Republic Day holiday, the opening of the Hrithik Roshan-starrer has been terrific. This kind of a huge initial was expected because the advance booking, which opened on Sunday/Monday, was outstanding, from North to South and East to West. Cinemas witnessed an excellent 95 − 100 per cent occupancy in the opening shows.
Trade sources are saying that the first day’s collections of Agneepath could be Rs. 20 crore. The film has a four-day weekend (Jan 26 – 29), which will draw in many more audiences. The film’s producers and distributors are slated to make a lot of money; profits will start coming in from the first weekend itself.
However, it remains to be seen if Agneepath will break the opening day record of Salman Khan-starrer Bodyguard (Rs. 21 crore).
Koimoi.com predicts that Agneepath has super-bright chances of surpassing every previous opening day record, including that of Bodyguard. Needless to add, this would be Hrithik Roshan’s highest ever initial.’
