Salman Khan's new film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan hits theatres on Friday and is likely to make anything between ₹12 to ₹18 crore on the first day, trade experts believe. The figure is quite low for a Salman Khan film but it is possibly so because the release comes in the midst of Ramzan. Eid is likely to be celebrated only on Saturday - the day when trade experts hope the collections for the film to double. 

Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is ready for release today. The film is directed by Farhad Samji and also stars Pooja Hegde and a bunch of other stars. Check out all the news and updates related to the film's release here:

Directed by Farhad Samji, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan stars Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh Daggubati, Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal and in important roles. Bhumika Chawla, Jagapathi Babu, and Vijender Singh also play pivotal roles in the film.

Talking about the advance bookings for the film, trade analyst Atul Mohan labelled them as decent and said, "Hopefully, the moon will be sighted on Friday. I expect the collections to jump (in the second half or post-evening), taking the day-one tally to respectable numbers. It can be around ₹15-18 crore. This is perhaps the widest Salman Khan release (with over 4500 screens) and there are no major releases for the next five-six weeks. The film has a good window to score well."

Fans of Salman Khan have been sharing videos of themselves buying film tickets in bulk. The film marks the Bollywood superstar's first big screen release in a leading role in four years. He was last seen in a cameo appearance as spy Tiger in superstar Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster hit Pathaan, which released in January.
