Adem comparison vayya Amitabh is Bollywood actor. Bollywood naturally has an all India appeal, so his collections in South doesn't matter at all. Plus until the not so recent past, South movies ni peddaga evvadu dekhetollu kooda kaadu. 

So this comparison doesn't make any sense.

Indaka evaro cheppinattu nuvvu movies choose time ki Amitabh retire ayipoyaremo so you don't seem to know much about his pan India appeal at all. 

I have met people from their 20s all the way to 60s who when I mention I am from India, immediately say oh bollywood and mention Amitabh's name. Big B is big B for a reason.

Sholay released to an unprecedented response though that is not what is generally believed as at the time their were a couple of trade magazines and basically these people thought it was a bad film so spread the word that it opened poorly when the collections told a completely different story with all records smashed. It was a bit like saying that Bahubali - The Conclusion has opened poorly last year but at that time they could actually get away with it because they actually had some takers in the industry and the media in general. In todays digital world this can never happen. It is hard to judge the opening compared to films today as numbers are today are far greater but there probably has not been many openings that have filled out every seat on day one (be it the August day ones in some circuits or October day ones in other places) barring maybe 50-60 seats. Even these missing ones will be more than compensated by so many centers going over capacity. So all in all the opening day would have easily been over 100% but it can only happen in India that a 110% or even 120% plus initial is called a poor opening.

 

 

The film opened on 40 cinemas in Mumbai and Ahmedabad on 15th August 1975 and barring the Drive In cinema in Ahmedabad every cinema recorded housefull collections and both cities saw the highest collections ever. These cities had records by socials like Dost (1974) and Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974) and action films were not the best bets at the time but Sholay smashed records in Mumbai by a distance and Ahmedabad it got past Roti Kapada Aur Makaan despite releasing on one theater less.

 

 

A week later the film opened in East Punjab and in certain mass markets like East Punjab, UP, Bihar, West Bengal and Bihar there was a tradition for extra seats when a film was really accepted and got going but with a Dharmendra starrer who was at an unimaginable level at the box office at that time the extra seats came out on release. The film did not officially beat the record of Roti Kapada Aur Makaan in East Punjab on day one as it was on less theaters but unofficially it would have as the distributor gave a higher first week share than Roti Kapada Aur Makaan despite lower collections as the over capacity theaters had probably more than covered the ground.

 

 

It was also released in Mysore and this was market was not going to be the strongest for an action dacait film as the ones before had not set this circuit on fire but Sholay easily smashed the record collections of Dharmatma and Deewaar which both had collected 37,000 apprx in early 1975.
