Red 2 First Week Box Office Performance
Superstar Ajay Devgan’s film Red 2 has completed one week in cinemas, achieving record-breaking earnings in India during its first week. The film’s overseas collection was also fully fantastic. Red 2, with a budget of ₹55 crore, earned over ₹100 crore at the box office within just 5 days. After one week, the film has broken several records worldwide and has received a “superduper hit” tag at the box office. Red 2 is emerging as a surprise blockbuster of 2025, with expectations for it to become a blockbuster in the coming days.
The film’s collections were outstanding in the first week and are expected to continue strongly into the second week. Good reviews and audience appreciation are likely to maintain its screen count. Red 2 recorded an All India Net collection of ₹81 crore 30 lakh in its initial five days. On its sixth day, the film maintained a strong hold, collecting ₹6 crore 92 lakh net in India. On its seventh day, despite a slight drop of 5-6% in morning show occupancy compared to the previous day, the afternoon, evening, and night show bookings remained solid, resulting in an estimated ₹6 crore 25 lakh net collection in the Indian market.
With these figures, Red 2’s All India Net collection stands at ₹94 crore 47 lakh for the first 7 days. The India Gross collection reached ₹112 crore 41 lakh. The 7-day worldwide collection for Red 2 totaled ₹128 crore 63 lakh. Exceeding its ₹55 crore budget, the film earned ₹128 crore 63 lakh globally in 7 days, securing a “superhit” tag. Projections suggest its lifetime collection could comfortably surpass the ₹200 crore mark.
Retro Box Office: 7-Day Worldwide Collection
Suriya’s action thriller film Retro, made on a budget of ₹70 crore, was released in Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu. While the film saw no significant promotion or impact in Hindi, its earnings in the Telugu states did not meet expectations. However, the film’s collections in Tamil Nadu and the Tamil language across India were impressive, complemented by a fully fantastic updated overseas collection.
Retro achieved an All India Net collection of ₹58 crore 43 lakh across all languages in its initial six days. On its seventh day, the film’s occupancy remained stable, with morning shows performing similarly to the previous day and afternoon, evening, and night show bookings also being good. The report indicates Retro earned an estimated ₹3 crore 75 lakh net in India on its seventh day. This brings Retro’s total India Net collection to ₹62 crore 18 lakh for the first seven days, with an India Gross collection of ₹73 crore 99 lakh.
The updated overseas collection for Retro stands at ₹31 crore 11 lakh. Consequently, Retro’s seven-day worldwide collection has reached ₹105 crore 10 lakh. With a budget of ₹70 crore, the film has earned over ₹105 crore worldwide.
Hit 3 First Week Global Earnings
Natural Star Nani’s crime thriller film Hit 3, with a budget of ₹80 crore, is a Telugu film also dubbed and released in Tamil and Hindi. The film recorded tremendous earnings in its original Telugu language in India, leading to its “blockbuster” status at the box office. Overseas collections were also quite impressive. The Tamil version faced competition from Suriya’s Retro, resulting in no significant earnings. Despite some promotion, the Hindi version also failed to achieve notable collections.
Hit 3 collected an All India Net of ₹63 crore 35 lakh across all languages in its initial six days. On its seventh day, the film maintained a good hold, with morning show occupancy similar to the previous day, although evening and afternoon bookings saw a slight drop. On its seventh day, Hit 3 is estimated to earn ₹4 crore 10 lakh from the Indian market. This pushes Hit 3’s initial seven-day India Net collection to ₹67 crore 45 lakh, with an India Gross collection of ₹80 crore 26 lakh.
The film’s overseas collection was a strong ₹27 crore 58 lakh. Cumulatively, Hit 3’s 7-day worldwide box office collection stands at ₹107 crore 84 lakh. Due to strong support from the Telugu audience, Hit 3 has emerged as a big superhit at the box office and is expected to continue its strong performance in the second week.
The Bhutani 7-Day Worldwide Box Office
Sanjay Dutt’s horror comedy film The Bhutani was made on a budget of ₹25 crore and released on just 750 screens worldwide. Despite the limited screen count and shows, the film garnered audience appreciation and achieved decent earnings at the box office. It is suggested that a release on 2000-3000 screens could have resulted in earnings many times its budget.
The Bhutani collected ₹6 crore 61 lakh at the Indian box office in its initial five days. On its sixth day, the film earned ₹93 lakh in the Indian market. On the seventh day, a slight drop in occupancy compared to the previous day led to an estimated collection of ₹85 lakh in the Indian market. This brings The Bhutani’s initial seven-day India Net collection to ₹8 crore 39 lakh, with an India Gross collection of ₹9 crore 98 lakh. The film’s worldwide box office collection for seven days stands at ₹10 crore 70 lakh. Given its ₹25 crore budget, the film’s performance in the second week will be crucial, especially if its screen count increases, potentially leading to higher earnings than the first week.
