Shaitaan’s movie started well, with 15.10 crores on Friday. Early signs show it might earn between 18.00 to 20.00 crores on the second day. The movie, led by Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan, is doing well in India. It’s expected to be a big hit because more people are watching it on Saturday after a good start on Friday. Even though it got a boost on Maha Shivratri, it’s predicted to have a 20-25% increase in business on the second day. The director, Vikas Bahl, is making a successful film.
Shaitaan targets a strong opening weekend
If we ignore the holiday part of Friday, the real value of the Saturday increase is about 70 percent. The fact that the movie is doing better is a sign that it might continue to do well at the box office for a long time. Shaitaan is mainly a movie for multiplexes, but Ajay Devgn’s involvement and supernatural elements have made it popular in regular cinemas too. Shaitaan is expected to make around Rs 53 crore in the first weekend in the North, which is surprising for a movie like Shaitaan that people didn’t expect to do so well just a month ago.
The trend on Saturday confirms that the movie is a hit, and how well it does on Monday will show us how successful it can be in the long run. The movie has a good chance to perform well until the release of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan on Eid because other movies like Yoddha and The Crew won’t compete directly with Shaitaan’s audience. The total earnings for Shaitaan in the first two days should be around Rs 33 crore, and with more people watching in regular cinemas, there will likely be even more earnings on Sunday. The movie has done well even though it lacks some typical commercial film elements like popular music, intense action scenes, or heavy marketing. Additionally, Shaitaan is not a typical horror movie but more of a supernatural thriller, which isn’t usually a popular genre at the box office.
Shaitaan to be a major money spinner for all stakeholders
Shaitaan’s best part is its low cost, even when considering Ajay Devgn’s acting fees. The movie is expected to make a lot of money for everyone involved, like producers, studios, exhibitors, and distributors. Keep checking Pinkvilla for more news and updates.
