Salman Khan has legit booked all the Eids to his name. In fact, since 2010, it was just in 2013 that Bollywood's Bhaijaan, Salman Khan, did not have an Eid release. Such has been his appeal that fans have made Eid synonymous to Salman films and eagerly wait for Bhai's release every year at this point of time.
This year too, Bhai had his Eidi ready with Bharat and fans, in turn, gave an Eidi back to him by making it the highest ever opener for the actor and the second highest Bollywood film of all times to open in theatres. Salman has been so ecstatic with the news that he thanked fans and has promised to strike back next year during Eid once again with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah that co-stars Alia Bhatt.
Let us have a look at Salman's relationship with Eid and check out how much all his Eid releases have collected on Day 1:
