Singham Again: A Strong Monday Performance

After its spectacular opening weekend, Singham Again entered the crucial Monday with much anticipation. Traditionally, Monday is a testing day for any film, often reflecting its staying power beyond the initial holiday rush. Despite early concerns, the action-packed entertainer defied all projections, delivering an impressive total of ₹19.20 crore on Monday. This remarkable performance brought its four-day total to a solid ₹144.20 crore, firmly establishing Singham Again as a Diwali blockbuster.

The film’s appeal continues to resonate particularly well in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where audiences have long supported director Rohit Shetty’s signature action style. In these regions, the film’s performance remains exceptionally strong, while other mass circuits are showing mixed responses ranging from decent to ordinary. With Singham Again now marking Shetty’s 10th film in the prestigious ₹100 crore club, the film solidifies his reputation as a director with mass appeal and box office consistency.

    • Saturday: ₹44.50 crore
    • Sunday: ₹36.80 crore

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Consistent Hold on First Monday

Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also managed to perform admirably on Monday, maintaining its momentum despite the holiday-to-weekday shift. Following a fantastic weekend, there were doubts regarding its ability to sustain the same energy during the week. However, the film silenced critics by pulling in ₹17.80 crore on Monday, bringing its four-day total to an impressive ₹128 crore. This steady performance suggests that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is on track for a solid first-week total, with no major releases in sight to disrupt its pace.

The film continues to dominate in urban regions such as Mumbai, Delhi, NCR, and West Bengal, where its psychological thriller elements have struck a chord with the audience. The consistent turnout in these areas has helped keep the momentum going, with box office trends indicating a strong first week. Without any significant competition in the upcoming weekend, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is expected to consolidate its position further.

  • First Week Collection (India biz):
    • Friday: ₹36.60 crore
    • Saturday: ₹38.40 crore
    • Sunday: ₹35.20 crore
    • Monday: ₹17.80 crore
    • Total: ₹128 crore

Both Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 have successfully leveraged the Diwali season to achieve stellar numbers. While Singham Again has captured the mass circuits with its action-heavy narrative, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has carved a niche in urban centers with its unique blend of horror and comedy. With no major releases on the horizon, both films are well-positioned to make the most of the box office in their first week.
