Shaitaan Box Office: Ajay Devgn starrer scores a good Monday, is a hit moving to superhit

Shaitaan has scored quite well on Monday with Rs. 7.81 crores coming in. This is also the best Monday for a film in 2024 as Fighter had brought in Rs. 7 crores on its first Monday. Now Shaitaan has scored much better despite a much lesser first day when compared to Fighter, which further goes on to show how stable the film has been. Yes, Article 370 too had held quite well on Monday but that was playing on lower levels. Here, Shaitaan had a double digit Friday of Rs. 15.21 crores and from there - which was a partial holiday - to now Monday which is a regular day, the film has held up quite well.

The film has been lapped up well by family audiences as well despite its supernatural theme and the father-daughter angle with a ‘shaitaan’ in the mix of things had generated quite some sentiments. While the promo was set as a thrilling ride for the audience, it’s the emotional angle which has worked rather well and that’s something bringing in audiences in multiplexes as well as single screens, and that too at big as well as small centres.

When something like that happens then a film is on for a long haul and director Vikas Behl can be pleased with the fact that there would be a lot of build-up that his Shaitaan will enjoy from here. The film had already collected Rs. 62.94 crores and while Rs. 80 crores would be crossed this week itself and a century would be scored within the second weekend, what needs to be seen is where does it land up eventually. As of now, a lifetime in the vicinity of Rs. 150 crores is a possibility which means Shaitaan is already a bit which is moving towards being a super hit at the box office.
