Animal Box Office Performance: Fourth Week Surge
Ranbir Kapoor’s film Animal is currently running in its fourth week and continues its strong box office run. Released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, the film has completed almost four weeks. Despite a significant reduction in screen count in its fourth week, due to the release of Dunki and Salaar, Animal continues to rake in substantial collections. It is anticipated that the film may run for another one to two weeks, with its final collection expected to be a super blockbuster.
The film’s initial three weeks accumulated an All India Net Collection of ₹531 crore 29 lakh across all languages. In its fourth week, Animal collected ₹2 crore 55 lakh net on its fourth Friday. A slight growth was observed on the fourth Saturday, with India Net Collection reaching ₹3 crore 10 lakh. A remarkable jump in collections was seen on the fourth Sunday, where the film garnered an India Net Collection of ₹3 crore 20 lakh. With these figures, Animal‘s total All India Net Collection now stands at ₹538 crore 14 lakh.
The India Gross Collection for Animal has reached ₹642 crore. From overseas markets, the film has generated a total of ₹233 crore. Consequently, Animal‘s worldwide box office collection has touched ₹875 crore. If the film further collects ₹25 crore in the coming days, its final lifetime collection is projected to reach a minimum of ₹900 crore. With a budget of just ₹150 crore, Animal has emerged as an All Time Blockbuster at the box office.
Dunki Box Office Report: Four-Day Collection Trends
Shah Rukh Khan’s film Dunki has also been making strong collections. The film, which had a total budget of ₹120 crore including promotions, has surpassed its budget in its first four days of collection.

Breaking down its day-wise performance, Dunki recorded an India Net Collection of ₹29 crore 20 lakh on its first day. On the second day, the film collected ₹20 crore 50 lakh. There was significant growth in collections on the third day, a Saturday, bringing in an India Net Collection of ₹28 crore 50 lakh.

Cumulatively, Dunki‘s total All India Net Collection over four days stands at ₹115 crore 20 lakh. The India Gross Collection is ₹137 crore. From the overseas markets, the film has earned a total of ₹76 crore. Thus, Dunki‘s worldwide collection within four days has reached ₹213 crore, which is considered a good collection relative to its budget.

Salaar Box Office Dominance: Three-Day Collection Records
Pan India Superstar Prabhas’s film Salaar has delivered a sensational performance at the box office in its first three days, breaking numerous records in Indian cinema. Released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, Salaar secured the biggest opening of 2023, both in the Indian and worldwide markets. The film’s second-day collections were also strong, and it continued its powerful run on the third day.
Notably, Salaar received fewer screens compared to Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki. However, in terms of collections, Salaar‘s earnings are reported to be three to four times higher than Dunki.

Following this strong opening, the film experienced a slight dip on its second day, collecting an All India Net of ₹71 crore. The second-day worldwide collection for Salaar was ₹117 crore.
However, on the third day, Sunday, the film witnessed a substantial increase in earnings. The occupancy across multiplexes and single screens was even better than on the first day in India, primarily due to the holiday. Salaar‘s third-day India Net Collection is approximately ₹80 crore.
In total, Salaar‘s All India Net Collection over three days amounts to ₹258 crore, surpassing the ₹250 crore mark at the Indian box office. The film’s India Gross Collection has reached ₹307 crore.
