Rohit Shetty has once again managed to struck gold at the box office with his recently released Golmaal Again which is the fourth instalment in the successful Golmaal franchise. The movie opened to packed houses across the country and has broken major records at the box office.
The big Diwali release has managed to pull in the audiences to the theatres despite having limited screens that it had to share with Aamir Khan's emotional drama Secret Superstar which released a day prior to its release. With an extended holiday period and a fantastic buzz around it, Golmaal Again has performed exceptionally well at the box office.
Here are the five major records that Golmaal Again broke in just two days of its release.
1. Second highest opening day collections of 2017 after Baahubali 2:
