Bharat was Salman Khan's Eid offering this year and had a blockbuster holiday opening last Wednesday, raking in as much as Rs 42 crore on Day 1. In doing so, Bharat turned out to be Salman Khan's biggest Eid opener and also his biggest opening film ever. Bharat breached the Rs 100 crore mark in just 4 days at the theatres.
Overwhelmed with the response, Salman Khan had tweeted a note of thanks for his fans and cine-goers:
