Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bharat, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, hit the silver screens on Eid, June 5. Ever since its release, the film has been unstoppable at the box-office and managed to minted around Rs 180 crore in its first extended week itself, which was of nine days. In its second week, Bharat has raked in Rs 21.81 crore, taking the total domestic business to over Rs 200 crore.
Declaring the film a HIT, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, "#Bharat biz at a glance... Week 1: 180.05 cr [extended Week 1 of 9 days] Week 2: 21.81 cr [till Tue] Total: 201.86 cr India biz." Incidentally, Bharat had a low second week, which is a big drop in business from the first week. The total business has been good mainly because of Eid and initially, the film took and on top an extended first weekend.
