If today's outcome is anything to go by, M S Dhoni: The Untold Story is headed for a Rs 65-70 crore weekend at least. The film starring Sushant Singh in M S Dhoni's role has received a phenomenal opening. The figures coming in reveal that Neeraj Pandey's latest offering has amassed Rs 21.3 crore on its first day itself, and proven to be the second highest opener of 2016 after Sultan.

Talking to SpotboyE.com, trade analyst Amod Mehra says, "This is perhaps the first time that a non-star film has garnered such a response. It is no doubt a costly film, but a sure-shot success."
Added Mehra, "Neeraj Pandey is the star of the film. What a superb film he has made."
Leading distributor Ramesh Sippy had predicted a minimum of Rs 50 crore weekend to SpotboyE.com. Ditto for trade analyst Komal Nahata (Whoa! 50 cr weekend Expected for M S Dhoni Biopic, Sep 29).
Manoj Desai, Executive Director of Gaiety-Galaxy-Maratha Mandir, says, "I am not in Mumbai but I am told by my theatres that there is an overwhelming response at the ticket windows."
"M S Dhoni: The Untold Story has collected in 1 day what the Emraan Hashmi starrer Azhar could not collect in its entire run," Mehra concluded.
What a six!
