Box Office: Shaitaan crosses Rs 3 crores, Yodha stays over Rs. 2 crores on Tuesday

On Tuesday, over Rs. 5 crores came between Shaitaan and Yodha at the box office. There is quite some capacity available, and both the films are doing their bit to keep theatres busy with some sort of footfalls coming in on a consistent note. There have been times in the last 12 months or so when theatres have experienced a completely barren look, especially during the weekdays. Thankfully that’s not happening this time around.

Let’s talk about Shaitaan first. The film has been enjoying a good time at the box office and this continued on Tuesday as well when Rs. 3 crores mark was crossed all over again. The film netted Rs. 3 crores* again and that’s hardly any fall when compared to Rs. 3.18 crores which had come on Monday. However, unless there is huge stability today and tomorrow, the collections will get into that Rs. 2.75-3 crores range now for the rest of the week. The Ajay Devgn and Madhavan starrer has now collected Rs. 112.19 crores* and will close the week around Rs. 118 crores mark.

On the other hand, Yodha had a stable Tuesday as the drop from Monday was rather negligible. The film had started the weekdays with Rs. 2.25 crores on Monday and now on Tuesday the drop is of just Rs. 3 lakhs with Rs. 2.22 crores coming in. This is nice because the film could have easily seen a bigger drop and settled around the Rs. 3 crores mark, but then it has managed more. All eyes are on stable Wednesday and Thursday now, and if they stay over Rs. 2 crores mark then that would be actually good, considering the first day numbers were Rs. 4.25 crores. Currently, the Sidharth Malhotra starrer stands at Rs. 21.98 crores.

*Estimates: Final numbers awaited
