'Singham Again' is slow but steady; collects ₹230cr after Day-17
The action-packed Bollywood film Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, has raked in a total domestic collection of ₹230cr by its third weekend. The film's worldwide gross collection crossed the ₹300cr mark earlier. Despite stiff competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (BB3), the movie witnessed growth over its third weekend.
'Singham Again' witnessed growth in 3rd weekend
Singham Again saw a slow decline in its collections as BB3 continued to grow in popularity. However, the film did see some growth over its third weekend compared to Friday's earnings. On Saturday (Day 16), it earned ₹3.35cr, and on Sunday (Day 17), it earned ₹4.15cr, taking the domestic total to ₹230cr.
'BB3' surpassed 'Singham Again' in total collection
Despite Singham Again's growth, BB3 trumped it over the third weekend. The former collected ₹5cr and ₹6cr on Saturday and Sunday respectively, beating Singham Again's total collection by reaching ₹231.5cr. This was surprising as Singham Again was expected to do well in urban centers and tier two and three cities, considering its high budget, star power, and greater allocation of screens.
'Singham Again' performed well in Maharashtra and Mumbai
Interestingly, Singham Again has been doing especially well in the Maharashtra and Mumbai circuits. This can be credited to its stellar ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff. Although it didn't live up to trade expectations in areas like Rajasthan, Gujarat, or Central India, the film's numbers are still impressive.
