Baaghi 4 Box Office: Record-Breaking Opening & Strong Hold
Baaghi 4, starring Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt, achieved record-breaking earnings on its first day at the box office. The film’s earnings on its second day also remained explosive, confirming its trajectory to become a major blockbuster. The first day benefited greatly from the Eid holiday, leading to higher-than-expected earnings. The film’s first-day India net collection was in the range of ₹12.63 crore, marking one of the biggest Bollywood openings of the year.
On its second day, a Saturday (a half-holiday), Baaghi 4 maintained a strong hold with no significant drop in occupancy. While morning shows saw a drop of 22-23% compared to the previous day, bookings for afternoon, evening, and night shows were robust. The film is estimated to have collected approximately ₹9.50 crore India net on its second day. This brings Baaghi 4’s total India net collection for the first two days to ₹22.13 crore. The India gross collection stands at ₹26.55 crore. While overseas earnings have not been high initially, a significant jump is expected in the coming days. The film has collected ₹4.87 crore from the overseas market so far. In its first two days, Baaghi 4 has garnered a worldwide collection of ₹31.42 crore. With Sunday approaching, the film is expected to show another big jump at the box office.
Param Sundari Box Office: ₹70.34 Crore Worldwide in 9 Days
Sidharth Malhotra’s Param Sundari, released last week, has completed nine days at the box office. Made on a budget of ₹70 crore, the film is currently in its second week in cinemas. With the release of new major Bollywood films this week, Param Sundari’s screen count was significantly reduced in its second week, leading to a slight decline in collections. Despite intense competition, the film continues to earn in crores.
Param Sundari recorded an India net collection of ₹41.67 crore in its first week (seven days). On its second Friday (day eight), the film earned ₹1.92 crore at the Indian box office. Morning show occupancy on the ninth day was slightly down compared to the previous day, with afternoon, evening, and night show bookings also seeing a minor dip. The film is estimated to collect ₹1.50 crore India net on its ninth day. Consequently, Param Sundari’s all-India net collection for the initial nine days stands at ₹45.99 crore, with an India gross collection of ₹54.10 crore. The film also performed reasonably well overseas, accumulating an overseas gross collection of ₹16.24 crore. Thus, Param Sundari’s worldwide collection for the first nine days has reached ₹70.34 crore, surpassing its budget in just nine days. A substantial surge in collections is anticipated for Sunday.
Madarasi Box Office: ₹37.81 Crore Worldwide in 2 Days
The Tamil film Madarasi, released this week, had a strong first day but experienced a drop on its second day. Released in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi globally, the film performed exceptionally well in its Tamil version and saw decent collections in the Telugu market. However, it did not make a significant impact in the Hindi market.
Mandarasi opened with an India net collection of ₹13.24 crore on its first day, exceeding predictions. Following a trend often observed in South Indian films, the second day witnessed a notable drop in earnings. Morning show occupancy on the second day decreased by approximately 30-35% compared to the first day, with afternoon, evening, and night show bookings also showing a considerable decline. The film is projected to earn approximately ₹8.5 crore India net on its second day. This brings Madarasi’s total India net collection for the first two days to ₹21.74 crore, with an India gross collection of ₹26.08 crore. The film also had decent overseas earnings, with an overseas gross collection of ₹11.73 crore. In its initial two days, Madarasi has achieved a worldwide collection of ₹37.81 crore.
Ghaati Box Office: ₹9.35 Crore Worldwide in 2 Days
Anushka Shetty’s film Ghaati, a Telugu production also dubbed and released in Tamil, had a budget of ₹45 crore. Despite low pre-release buzz and lower-than-expected opening day collections, the film maintained a decent hold on its second day. A significant jump in collections is anticipated on Sunday.
Ghaati earned ₹2.96 crore India net on its first day, which was considered a decent opening. Unlike many South Indian films that experience a substantial drop on their second day, Ghaati’s occupancy did not fall as sharply. Afternoon, evening, and night show bookings for the second day were also decent. The film is estimated to collect approximately ₹2.15 crore India net on its second day. This brings Ghaati’s total India net collection for the first two days to ₹5.11 crore, with an India gross collection of ₹6.13 crore. The film also collected ₹3.22 crore from the overseas market. Overall, Ghaati’s worldwide box office collection for the first two days stands at ₹9.35 crore.

The Bollywood historical drama, The Bengal Files, had high expectations but did not achieve a strong opening at the box office.

This suggests positive audience reviews, with collections expected to gradually increase in the coming days. The film’s total budget is ₹30 crore.
The Bengal Files recorded an India net collection of ₹3.25 crore on its first day, which was considerably lower than predictions. On the second day, morning show occupancy was 20-22% higher than the first day, while afternoon, evening, and night show bookings remained similar to day one.
