The Vikas Bahl directed Shaitaan starring Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan has fetched a good response in advance booking. As on early morning on Thursday, the horror film has sold approx. 35,000 tickets across the Top 3 national multiplex chains – PVR, Inox & Cinepolis. The film is looking to rake in overall pre-sales of 70,000 tickets in the national multiplex chains.
The advance booking of Shaitaan will end up being 2 times higher than Devgn’s last release, Bholaa, which co-incidentally again released on Maha Shivratri. Shaitaan will be looking to open at Rs. 10.50 crores on Friday, which is a good start for a horror film made on a limited budget.
If the film carries positive report, Shaitaan will be looking to grow over the weekend and pack a punch. The trailer of Shaitaan was solid and the impact of the theatrical trailer is visible in pre-sales. Interestingly, the advance bookings are good in non national chains and single screens too, and this has got a lot to do with the Ajay Devgn factor.
Shaitaan is all set to release on March 9, 2024. Stay tuned for Bollywood Hungama’s review of this horror thriller.
