'Singham Again' lags behind 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'; earns ₹235.15cr by Day-20
What's the story
The star-studded action film Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor has earned ₹235.15cr domestically in 20 days. The film's worldwide collection has already crossed the ₹300cr mark.
Although it took the lead at the box office initially after a Diwali release on November 1, it now lags behind Anees Bazmee's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Box office race
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' surpassed 'Singham Again' in 2nd week
Initially, it was predicted that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 might struggle with its simultaneous release with Singham Again. However, the Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan-starrer surprised everyone by outperforming Singham Again from the start of its second week.
After earning ₹173cr nett in its first week, Singham Again added another ₹47.5cr in the second week.
On Wednesday alone, it earned around ₹1.65cr, bringing its total collection to ₹235.15cr domestically while BB3's total stands at ₹237cr so far!
Rising competition
'The Sabarmati Report' emerges as new competitor
Both Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 now have a competitor in The Sabarmati Report. The film has been picking up through word-of-mouth publicity, earning around ₹1cr daily since its release.
It is expected to draw more viewers after being declared tax-free in states like Madhya Pradesh and Haryana.
This new development only adds another layer of intrigue to the box office race among these films.
