The day has finally arrived. Three years after Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty roared with Singham, they are back with the sequel to the film. An action entertainer, it has pretty much managed to fetch a cult outing for itself over the years with grown-ups as well as kids loving the kind of antics on display. This pretty much makes this sequel all the more interesting.
Moreover, there is Kareena Kapoor Khan adding to the star quotient as well. This isn’t all as the release timing is just perfect too, what with the Independence Day holiday followed by Janmashtami on Monday resulting in a four day long weekend for the film.
All of this means that Singham Returns is set to take a very good start at the box office and then bring on moolah on a continued basis well into the weekdays too. The film is expected to take a good start across the country and while multiplexes should warm up as the weekend progresses, single screens are set to be on fire right from the word go.
Yes, the songs haven’t covered any distance whatsoever while response to the promo too isn’t as mind boggling as it was for Singham, leave aside Chennai Express, which was on a different level, scale and setting altogether. Still, all these factors hardly make a difference when a film by itself is awaited to such an extent by the audience.
On its release, Singham had fetched 30 crore in its opening weekend and then 50 crore at the end of Week One. Now unless the content is a spoiler (which doesn’t seem to be the case), Singham Returns should comfortably bring in 50 crore during the first four days itself, if not between Friday and Sunday. While 100 crore is a given for the film (there isn’t much competition in week to follow either), it would be interesting to see how far does the film go from that point on to become Ajay Devgn’s highest grosser ever.
