ROWDY RATHORE has the biggest non-holiday opening weekend ever. The Akshay Kumar-starrer has smashed previous records by a big margin. It collects a colossal Rs 48.3 crore nett in its first 3 days. Breakup:

Friday 15.1 crore
Saturday 14.7 crore
Sunday 18.5 crore

The box-office performance of ROWDY RATHORE is *better* than this year’s first Blockbuster AGNEEPATH, if one compares the Fri to Sun numbers. Of course, AGNEEPATH had the advantage of a 4-day opening weekend [Thursday to Sunday], therefore the opening weekend total is bigger. AGNEEPATH’s opening weekend total stood at Rs 67.5 crore nett [Thursday 23 crore, Friday 12.75 crore, Saturday 14.5 crore, Sunday 17.25 crore].

Meanwhile, ROWDY RATHORE has collected 9.5 crore on Monday, taking the 4-day total to 57.8 crore. The movie is heading for a first week of around 75 crore nett. In Bihar it is all set to emerge as the biggest or second biggest hit of all time.
