“Shaitaan” and “Kung Fu Panda 4” have maintained their stronghold at the top two spots in the Indian box office, marking their third and second Saturday respectively with impressive collections.
“Shaitaan” raked in approximately Rs 5 crores on its 16th day, marking an astounding growth percentage of around 80%. Meanwhile, “Kung Fu Panda 4” netted around Rs 3.45 crores, boasting a growth rate of approximately 130%. These figures demonstrate the enduring appeal of these cinematic offerings in the face of stiff competition from cricket’s biggest extravaganza.
With “Shaitaan” now standing tall with India nett collections ranging between Rs 122.50-123 crores, it’s poised to effortlessly cross the Rs 150 crores mark, and possibly even reach Rs 160 crores. Globally, its total has touched nearly Rs 180 crores, with expectations to break into the coveted Rs 200 crore worldwide club in its fourth week. This success is set to substantially boost the fortunes of lead actor Ajay Devgn by an estimated Rs 100 crores.

Meanwhile, “Kung Fu Panda 4” continues to exhibit remarkable staying power in its second weekend, with collections on its ninth day surpassing those of its opening day. Projections suggest it’s on course to achieve a lifetime nett of around Rs 35 crores, positioning it as one of the highest-grossing animated films in India’s cinematic history. Its global performance mirrors its domestic success, with the potential to emerge as the highest-grossing installment in the beloved franchise.
However, not all films shared in this success. “Yodha,” despite witnessing a modest growth from Friday, struggles with meager collections, barely crossing the Rs 25 crore mark domestically. Its global tally is anticipated to settle around 50 crores, highlighting the disparity between investment and returns.
Despite these variations, the weekend witnessed a healthy turnout for a diverse range of films, reflecting the audience’s appetite for cinematic experiences amidst the IPL frenzy. As the weekend approaches, the question remains: which film will you choose to watch amidst this dynamic cinematic landscape?
