Rocking start to the box office journey!
Early estimates indicated a possibility of a start better than Drishyam 2, but the film missed it by a few lakhs. As per the official data, an opening day of 15.21 crores was recorded at the Indian box office, thus grabbing the 5th position on the list of Ajay Devgn’s biggest openers of all time. It crossed Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’s 15.10 crores.
How many people watched Shaitaan yesterday?
As per Sacnilk, Shaitaan recorded an impressive 7.83 lakh footfalls for day 1. It means that the film sold 7.83 lakh tickets on the opening day. It’s a big number for a horror thriller, and it clearly indicates that a well-cut trailer and positive word-of-mouth did their job well.
In 2024, only Fighter managed to score an opening of over 20 crores for Bollywood. The Hrithik Roshan amassed 24.60 crores on day 1 at the Indian box office, which equals 11.47 lakh footfalls. So, it remains at the top by a big margin in 2024.
Which film will challenge Fighter?
As of now, the upcoming Eid releases, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan, both have the potential to cross Fighter’s opening day footfalls at the Indian box office. Both films are arriving during the lucrative period of Eid. If the buzz goes high, each film has the capability to challenge 11.47 lakh footfalls.
