The magic of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan seems to have worked once again. Karan Johar’s “Agneepath” has had a record opening day collection minting Rs.25 crore on the first day and surpassing the collections of recent blockbusters like “Bodyguard” and “RA.One”.While Salman Khan’s “Bodyguard” earned Rs.22 crore, superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s mega-budget “RA.One” made Rs.18 crore on the opening day. But the Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt-starrer remake of the 1990 film of the same name, which released Thursday, has gone beyond.Hrithik, who stepped into the shoes of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay, is excited that his hard work has paid off.“WOW!!!!

It’s heartening to see the strength of the Indian cinema audiences growing like this. We all were very confident of the film but for this kind of success and unprecedented number that it has posted on day one we must thank our audience,” said Priyanka.Sanjay took to Twitter after a year, to share his sentiments about the appreciation towards the movie, and his role as the villain, Kancha Cheena.“I am overwhelmed with the response and support of everyone.
