Box Office: Shaitaan continues its good run, Yodha sees a drop

Shaitaan had yet another good day in theatres as Rs. 3 crores* more came in. The film is now collecting on expected lines because post-pandemic it has been seen that a set film drops less than 50% on Mondays and that’s what has been the case with Shaitaan as well for the first two Mondays. On Friday, the film had collected Rs. 5.12 crores and with this kind of hold coming in, the weekdays will now certainly bring around Rs. 11-12 crores more.

The film is a superhit now and currently stands at Rs. 109.01 crores*. It will now cross the Rs. 120 crores mark by the close of second week and then keep adding more in weeks to follow as well despite an inflow of new releases. In fact, there is going to be Ajay Devgn all the way in cinemas now because after Shaitaan, it’s his Maidaan that will arrive as well which means audiences would see a lot of him this season. This isn’t all as his Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is scheduled immediately after as well.

Meanwhile, Yodha collected Rs. 2.25 crores on Monday. On Friday, the Sidharth Malhotra starrer had collected Rs. 4.25 crores, so this is a drop for sure. One just hopes that the collections do stabilise from this point on and at least Rs. 2 crores come on a daily basis. That would allow the film to build over Rs. 19.76 crores that it has collected so far and then aim to add some more in weeks to come before Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan arrive on Eid.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
