'Bharat' is an official remake of the Korean film 'An Ode To My Father'
According to the official Twitter page of the film, which has Salman in six different looks -- from a young circus champion to a 60-year-old man -- "strong word of mouth" is helping in attracting more family audience to theatres.

"Big thank you to all for giving me my career's biggest opening ever," Salman had tweeted a day after the film released on the occasion of Eid.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film's opening day collection was Rs 42.30 crore. "Bharat" has also helped Salman add another feather to his cap. "It becomes back-to-back 14 centuries for Salman Khan," according to film and trade expert Girish Johar. It begun with "Dabangg", to be followed by "Ready", "Bodyguard", "Ek Tha Tiger", "Dabangg 2", "Jai Ho", "Kick", "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", "Sultan", "Tubelight", "Tiger Zinda Hai" and "Race 3".
