Karan Johar’s ‘Agneepath’ is the remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s cult film by the same name, where Big B essayed the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan.

Talking to a daily about the instant success of ‘Agneepath,’ trade analyst Taran Adarsh said, “‘Agneepath’ opening: Not just Hrithik’s biggest opener, but also amongst the biggest opener of all times. It should have a record Day 1 collection.”

“The audience response to the film has been extraordinary, we are now hopeful that this film will compensate for the losses we incurred in the first three weeks,” said an exhibitioner.

Buzz had it that the first day collections of ‘Agneepath’ will touch anywhere around Rs 20 crore. “The film’s first day collection could easily be between 19-20 crores. True to its title, ‘Agneepath’ has taken a fiery start. It is a superb Republic Day gift by Karan Johar to the public!” said trade analyst Komal Nahata.
