The Ajay Devgn-led Shaitaan has scored excellent numbers in its opening weekend as after opening at Rs. 15.23 crore on Friday, the film jumped by 28 percent to collect Rs. 19.18 crore on Saturday, followed by another 15-17 percent jump to clock Rs. 21.75 to 22.25 crore on Sunday. This takes the 3-day opening weekend collection to Rs. 56 crore as per estimates.
Shaitaan is doing well across the board – be it single screens or multiplexes – and has already emerged as a hit film with its trend in the opening weekend. The film opened on Friday and the business was boosted due to the Maha Shiv Ratri, but the spikes on non-festive Saturday and Sunday indicate a long leg for the film at the box office.
The audience’s word of mouth is positive and Shaitaan will soon enter the Rs. 100 crore club at the box office. A stronghold on Monday is more or less confirmed and we need to see if the film has enough legs to clock double digits on day four. Shaitaan will be the third big grosser for Ajay Devgn in the post-pandemic world after Sooryavanshi, and Drishyam 2.
His next film, Maidaan, also looks promising but the big blockbuster will come in the 2nd half of 2024 with the Rohit Shetty-directed Singham Again.
