Box Office: Pawan Kalyan's 'Gabbar Singh' Scores Record Opening For A Re-Release Indian Film

Hyderabad, September 3 - Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan's blockbuster action drama Gabbar Singh was re-released on the occasion of his birthday yesterday and as expected, the movie scored the biggest opening for a re-release Indian movie at the worldwide box office. ## Gabbar Singh had previews on Sunday before a full-fledged release the next day. The film grossed approximately 6.25 crores in India on its opening day, including previews. This makes it the biggest re-release domestic opener, beating Mahesh Babu's Murari and Thalapathy Vijay's Ghilli which grossed around 4.75 crores each. ## Overseas, Harish Shankar's directorial scored around 75 lahks, for a worldwide opening of 7+ crores. With this, it has also become the biggest worldwide Indian re-release opener, surpassing Murari and Businessmen which grossed around 5.25 crores each on the first day. ## With such a good start, one assumes the film would go on to score a big lifetime re-release collection but that's not the case here. South Indian films, especially Telugu re-releases tend to have a short life at the box office as these films are re-released as a mark of celebration rather than a genuine re-release, which means the collection after the first 2 days is reduced drastically. ## Gabbar Singh, meanwhile, was originally re-released in 2012 and emerged as a big blockbuster with a worldwide box office collection of over 100 crores. It was the highest-grossing Telugu movie of the year by a very good margin. ## Stay tuned...
