According a report in Republic, Disney+ Hotstar drew 95 million viewers in the first 24 hours of the film's release. Ormax Media, a viewership tracking and consulting firm told a leading tabloid that the 'figures are just an estimate' and on that basis alone, they can confirm that Mukesh Chhabra directorial got a 'massive opening'. If viewership is compared to the theatre ticket price, then some reports suggest that Dil Bechara got around Rs. 2000 crore opening day earning
(Note: If average ticket price of PVR cinemas across India was Rs. 207). But if the average ticket price is taken Rs. 100, then the movie would have collected Rs. 950 crores on an opening day (much, much higher than the previous highest-grossing films)Trade analyst Taran Adarsh told Mid-Day that the film would've done 'exceedingly well in the theatres' as good films 'always find appreciation'. Adarsh also compared Sushant's film with Anand (1971) or Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se (1978) that held a similar emotional note. Dil Bechara was helmed by debut director Mukesh Chhabra and bankrolled by Fox Star Studios while the music was composed by AR Rahman.
