In a scene where box office triumphs are no child’s play, Ajay Devgn’s unremitting horror flick ‘Shaitaan’ stamps its mark.
After ten subsequent days of outshining in the box office race, the unanticipated happens. The film records its maiden major stumble on the 2nd Monday, day 11 since its release.
A Surprising Beginning
Against all odds, the film opened on a soaring note, surpassing the predicted 11 – 12 crore opening range. The actuals read 15.21 crores, setting the bar high for what was coming.
The horror odyssey continued its dream run at the box office for ten long days, staving off competition from new entries like Sidharth Malhotra’s ‘Yodha’.
The First Dip
As day 11 rolled in, the numbers reveal an anticipated fluctuation in Shaitaan’s otherwise steady journey. The predicted figure dwells between 3 – 3.5 crore, a significant drop compared to previous days.
Indeed, the film’s compelling momentum had set the stage for a sense of surprise if such a dip was absent.
Shaitaan Box Office Collection Day 11
Undeterred by minor hiccups, Shaitaan has already planted its flag by being Ajay Devgn’s 13th 100-crore film. The film closed its second weekend at a comfortable sum of 106 crore.
The opening weekend contributed a stellar 55.13 crore, leading to its first week sealing off with a formidable total of 81.60 crore. The film then maintained its stride with an impressive second weekend earning of 16.87 crore.
The Marathon Continues
As the festival of Holi approaches, Shaitaan prepares for another potential surge in its box office journey. With the only competitor being ‘Yodha’, Ajay Devgn’s horror saga could extend its reign to the fourth weekend.
This possibility accompanies the arrival of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon’s newbie ‘Crew’.
The Longevity Factor
A striking feature of Ajay Devgn’s films is their sustained and comforting presence at the box office. Similar to a marathon runner pacing steadily, Shaitaan, too, seems poised to maintain a steady run for an extended period.
If the audience sustains their preference for the film, Shaitaan could continue its steady performance until Ajay Devgn’s next big arrival, ‘Maidaan‘. This film is set to contest in an Eid face-off with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’.
