India's BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER recovered budget on opening day! Not Dangal, Baahubali, KGF 1, RRR or Pushpa

Indian movies have been gaining immense popularity globally. While Dangal secures the top position in the list of highest-grossing Indian movies, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is in the second spot. However, do you know which flick is India's biggest blockbuster?

RRR, KGF: Chapter 1 and Pushpa: The Rise are few of the movies that will pop in minds of movie enthusiasts. But, none of the these movies could recover almost the total budget on its first day.

The movie is none other than Kannada Film Industry (KFI)'s Rocking Star Yash's KGF: Chapter 2.

Reportedly, made at a budget of Rs 100 crore, KGF 2's global opening day collection was Rs 164 crore ($20 million). The movie remains the most expensive Kannada movie till date. With its release, KGF 2 scripted several new records including breaking the records of day 1 gross of all post-pandemic films. Broke the opening record of Thugs of Hindostan and War, its Hindi version earned Rs 53.95 crore and became the biggest opening movie in India.
