Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan’s Shaitaan has finally arrived in theatres, and the early reports are really promising. It seems that the well-cut trailer has done its job, and audiences are eager to see what this exciting pair of Devgn and Madhavan has to offer. As far as the advance booking for day 1 is concerned, it’s really surprising and the final number is beyond everyone’s expectations. Keep reading to know more!
Reception of Shaitaan
Directed by Vikas Bahl, the horror thriller is released all over India, and the early morning shows have already ended. Speaking about the reaction to these shows, it’s highly positive. Even the reviews of critics that have come in so far are mostly favorable. This positivity will definitely help the film in garnering more footfalls as the day progresses.
Day 1 advance booking status
Considering the genre and no sequel factor attached, Shaitaan was expected to enjoy just a decent response in advance booking. However, the actuals that have been recorded are just short of a biggie like Drishyam 2. As per the final update for the opening day, the horror thriller amassed 4.20 crores gross (excluding blocked seats). It includes a sale of over 1.80 lakh tickets, which is very impressive. Talking about Drishyam 2, it had amassed 5.10 crores gross (excluding blocked seats) through pre-sales for the opening day.

For Shaitaan, the partial holiday factor of Mahashivratri will play an important role, and occupancies will be higher during the afternoon and evening shows. Also, tomorrow is Saturday, so night occupancies might remain strong, and eventually, a solid total might come on the board. As of now, a double-digit score is guaranteed, and if all goes well during night shows, there’s an outside chance of hitting the 15 crore mark.
More about Shaitaan
This Vikas Bahl directorial has surprisingly managed to emerge as the biggest release for Ajay Devgn in the overseas market. Arriving in over 60 countries, the film has got itself an impressive count of over 1200 screens. As the early reports are good, the Ajay Devgn starrer is aiming for a solid start in overseas, and it might exceed expectations.
