'Shaitaan' Enters Rs 100 Crore Club, 'Yodha' And 'Kung Fu Panda 4' Outperform 'Bastar: The Naxal Story'
'Shaitaan' has gone past the Rs 100 crore mark in India while 'Yodha' is faring better than 'Bastar'.
Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Jyotika-starrer 'Shaitaan', which released in cinemas on March 8, has finally gone past the Rs 100 crore mark in India. The new Hindi film took 10 days to achieve this feat, and as a result, 'Shaitaan' has now become just the second Hindi movie of 2024 to enter the Rs 100 crore club, after Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor-starrer 'Fighter'.
The Vikas Bahl-directorial 'Shaitaan' minted Rs 9.75 crore on Sunday, the 10th day of its release. As per Sacnilk, the total nett domestic collection of 'Shaitaan' now stands at Rs 103.05 crore.
'Shaitaan' had an overall 36.03 per cent Hindi occupancy on Sunday, as per Sacnilk. ‘Shaitaan’ has been produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak under the banners of Devgn Films, Jio Studios, and Panorama Studios. The film's plot revolves around a happy family and how their lives take a turn for the worse after meeting a mysterious man.
Speaking of Sidharth Malhotra, Raashii Khanna, and Disha Patani-starrer 'Yodha', which was released on March 15, minted Rs 7 crore on Sunday, which was the third day of its release. As per Sacnilk, the total nett domestic collection of the film now stands at Rs 16.85 crore.
Sidharth Malhotra has not had a box-office hit since 2016's 'Kapoor & Sons'. It is unlikely that 'Yodha' will emerge as a box office hit.
On the other hand, Adah Sharma-starrer 'Bastar: The Naxal Story', which released on the same day as 'Yodha', minted Rs 0.90 crore on Sunday, taking the three-day total to just Rs 2.05 crore, as per Sacnilk.
Hollywood film 'Kung Fu Panda 4' has outperformed 'Bastar: The Naxal Story' by quite a big margin in India. The new Hollywood film minted Rs 5 crore on Sunday, as per Sacnilk and the three-day weekend total now stands at Rs 11.25 crore.
Yami Gautam and Priyamani's 'Article 370' which released in cinemas on February 23, also outperformed 'Bastar: The Naxal Story' on Sunday. The new Hindi film minted Rs 1.60 crore on Sunday, which was the 24th day of its release. As per Sacnilk, the total nett domestic collection of 'Article 370' now stands at Rs 72.50 crore.
