2.0 (Hindi) is the highest Akshay Kumar opening weekend and that too by a distance as it went through the figures of Housefull 3 by a margin. The film was a non holiday release and it had about 10% of the hindi film business missing due to a non release in the South for the Hindi version.
The Akshay Kumar factor is in play in this film as its North India which has out performed for this film. Till date every South dubbed film (be it a success or disaster) has under performed in places like Delhi / UP and East Punjab but here these two markets led the way. On Sunday they had crazy collections of 7.50 crore nett in Delhi / UP and 3.50 crore nett in East Punjab. Bahubali - The Conclusion was universal and performed to huge levels across all Hindi markets. The presence of Akshay Kumar has made a difference to the film across all Hindi markets especially North and Central India.
Bihar and Rajasthan are also huge for a dubbed film with Bihar possibly coming out with an all time record on Sunday for the highest single day in history.
Gold remains the highest opening day of Akshay Kumar but that was a national holiday release. Below are the top ten opening weekends of Akshay Kumar. Normally a film opens on Thursday if it is a holiday on Thursday or Friday but it was not the case here so the regular Fri-Sun weekend is taken for comparison. All are three days.
