Director Vikas Bahl’s Shaitaan appeared like an out-of-the-box film from its teaser and trailer. The film is the official Hindi remake of the Gujarati supernatural thriller Vash. Starring Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Janki Bodiwala and Jyothika, the film proved after its release that it is not only a different product but also a thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. This was also reciprocated in the film’s box office collections. Its latest triumph is that it has become the second movie of 2024 to gross Rs. 200 crores worldwide.
Shaitaan achieved this feat recently. The film’s current score is Rs. 201.64 crores. The movie easily surpassed the Rs. 100 crores mark in India last month. It is just the second movie of 2024 to achieve this feat. It also falls on number two right now in the list of highest worldwide grossers of the year.
The first position is acquired by Siddharth Anand’s aerial action movie Fighter. The Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor starrer grossed Rs. 337.2 crores worldwide. Out of this, its India gross amounts to Rs. 169.12 crores.
Apart from Fighter and Shaitaan, there are only two Bollywood movies so far to gross over Rs. 100 crores worldwide. These are the Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs. 133.49 crores) and the Yami Gautam starrer Article 370 (Rs. 108.96 crores).
