Ajay Devgn has done it again. Consistently delivering a double-digit opening ever since one can remember (with just an exception or two), the superstar has gone ahead and now ensured yet another big day for Shaitaan.
The film was always meant to find a place amongst the Top-10 openers ever for Ajay Devgn since 11-12 crore start on Friday was a given. However, it has covered a lot more distance as well, as a result of which it has zoomed right up there to find a place in the Top-5 instead.
The film has, in fact, gone past Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior as far as the opening day is concerned. With Shaitaan, Ajay Devgn has now challenged even Total Dhamaal, which was one of his other big successes before the pandemic. That film had a start of 16.50 crores, and Shaitaan is just a little below that, as is Drishyam 2.
This is what the Top-10 biggest opening days of Ajay Devgn starrers look like:
Golmaal Again – 30.14 crore
Singham Returns – 32 crore
Total Dhamaal – 16.50 crore
Drishyam 2 – 15.38 crore
Shaitaan – 15.21 crore
Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior – 15.10 crore
Bol Bachchan – 12.10 crore
Himmatwala – 12.10 crore
Baadshaho – 12.03 crore
Satyagraha – 11.21 crore
Two of Ajay‘s biggest stays are Golmaal Again and Singham Returns, though. Rest assured, these records will be broken when Singham Again arrives this Independence Day weekend.
