Filmmaker Vikas Bahl’s Shaitaan opened at an unexpected number of Rs. 15.21 crores on Friday. Despite the fact that it was a Maha Shivratri holiday, the collections were excellent considering the film’s genre and scale. The momentum was then kept alive throughout the weekend as the film scored Rs. 19.18 crores and Rs. 20.74 crores on Saturday and Sunday respectively. This ensured a positive weekend of Rs. 55.13 crores.
After such weekend numbers, it was important for the film to continue the winning box office journey on the first weekday, which is Monday. Shaitaan has indeed passed the Monday test as it has been estimated to have earned in the range of Rs. 7.5 to 8 crores today.
This has taken the overall total of the movie to around Rs. 63 crores, which is a positive score as of now. It will be interesting to see if the movie continues the momentum in the rest of the weekdays.
Shaitaan is the official Hindi remake of the Gujarati supernatural thriller Vash. It stars Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Jyothika and Janki Bodiwala. The movie is produced under the banners of Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Jio Studios and Panorama Studios.
