UTV’s production and Prakash Jha’s directorial ‘Raajneeti’ has recorded by far the best opening of year by collecting nearly 10.50 crore net on its first day. The collections are just huge in Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab, CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan with South being good but lower comparatively.

This is the second highest opening ever after ‘3 Idiots’ (12.98 crores where we need to remember 25th December was the opening day). ‘Rajneeti’ is closely followed by ‘Kites’ (10.04 cr) and ‘Housefull’ (9 crores).

The collections are the second highest first day total however with 30% lesser shows at multiplexes than films like ‘Kites’ and ‘Housefull’ which were the second and third biggest first day openers respectively before ‘Raajneeti’.

The film has simply surpassed all expectations and may be on its way to being the first big smash hit of 2010 in India.

Released on 4th June, ‘Raajneeti’ stars Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpai and Naseruddin Shah.
