Bharat box office collection Day 8: Salman Khan film slows down in second week?
Bharat box office collection Day 8: The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial is having a great run at the cinemas. Starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles, the film released on June 5.
Bharat box office collection Day 8: Salman Khan’s film is all set to cross Rs 175 crore mark.
Salman Khan starrer Bharat has already earned Rs 167.60 crore in the first seven days and the film shows no signs of slowing down at the box office. The film released on Eid and has delivered on the fans’ expectations and the numbers it is registering at the box office are proof of the same. The film also stars Katrina Kaif and Sunil Grover in pivotal roles.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh recently shared on Twitter, “#Bharat is steady on Day 7… Should cross ₹ 175 cr today [Day 8]… Wed 42.30 cr, Thu 31 cr, Fri 22.20 cr, Sat 26.70 cr, Sun 27.90 cr, Mon 9.20 cr, Tue 8.30 cr. Total: ₹ 167.60 cr. India biz.”
Adarsh mentioned that the film will cross Rs 175 crore on Day 8.
The film opened to a whopping figure of Rs 42.30 crore and even though the figures dropped in the subsequent days, it can be easily said that the audience is still enjoying the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial.
Bharat is Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar’s third collaboration. The two had earlier worked on Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, both of which proved to be massive successes.

Anil Kapoor congratulates Disha Patani on Bharat's success
While wishing Disha Patani on her birthday, Anil Kapoor wrote on Twitter, "Happy Birthday, @DishPatani! I'm so impressed with your dedication to work & your commitment to fitness! You even refused chanas & peanuts on sets, even though we were working so late! 👏👏 Congratulations on Bharat's success! You deserve that and more!"
Sunil Grover: A film like Bharat is not made every day
In an interview with indianexpress.com, Sunil Grover said, "A film like Bharat is made in a huge magnitude with an intention to reach everyone. People feel commercial films are easier but it is so much more challenging. You need to make everyone interested in it at the same time, and also have an aspirational value. This is a beautiful story set in different eras with different looks and location. It will also keep you emotionally involved. Bharat is a film that is not made every day and I am fortunate I could be a part of it."
'I do the kind of movies I do because I loved the scripts'
Salman Khan, while talking about Bharat's success said he is indifferent to how film critics react to his film. When asked what did he make of the positive reviews that Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai earned, Salman Khan said, “I get scared that why did they give (those star ratings) because their thinking never matches with the audience. Then I wonder ‘oh what if this doesn’t do well’. But the reason I do the kind of movies I do is because I loved the scripts.”
“My validation comes from the box office collections. That means people have liked or not liked a film. It doesn’t make a difference if someone has given it so many stars (rating), no stars or ridiculed the film. Which happens. It’s their bread and butter. God bless them, give them two more bread,” Salman Khan said in a group interview on the account of Bharat’s domestic box office performance.

Bharat: Our verdict
From the tumultuous scenes of bloodshed of the Partition, and the sundering of Bharat’s family in Lahore, to their arrival in a Delhi refugee camp, in search of a future, Bharat is sure-footed. After the half-way point, it meanders.

Recently, the Indian cricket team watched Bharat in England. The team is currently busy with the ongoing Cricket World Cup.
The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2.5 stars and wrote, "Zafar, who works well with Khan, strikes the right notes initially when he shapes his hero as an unlettered but determined-to-do-the-right-thing-by-his-family youth, accompanied by his best friend Vilayati (Grover). There’s a stint in a circus, with Bharat risking his life as a stunt artist, and a coveted trip to the Middle East to help dig oil."
She also mentioned Katrina Kaif in her review and wrote, "Kaif makes the most of her role, as the feisty Kumum aka ‘Madam-Sir’ who comes into Bharat’s life, and who stays on, for the most part, without, gulp, either mandap or mangalsutra. The whole live-in thing is quite clunkily done, and with dotty reasoning, but while it lasts, it makes a statement. Kaif’s ‘get-up’ varies from scene to scene (eyebrows bushy to bushier; the tan a shade darker or lighter) and her Hindi is still effortful, but she takes Khan on, head to head."
Bharat also stars Disha Patani, Tabu, Jackie Shroff, Satish Kaushik and Sonali Kulkarni.
