Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor Khan, has completed its second week at the Indian box office, and while the film had a strong start during its Diwali release, its performance has been on a downward trend in the second week. Despite this, the film is still on track to cross the ₹250 crore milestone, although it’s facing some challenges compared to expectations.
Box Office Breakdown:
Week 1 (Nov 1–7): The film had a solid opening, earning ₹186.60 crores in its first week.
Weekend 2 (Nov 8–10): It earned ₹38.70 crores, which is decent but represents a significant drop from the first weekend.
Week 2 (Nov 8–14):
Day 11 (Nov 11): ₹5 crores
Day 12 (Nov 12): ₹4 crores
Day 13 (Nov 13): ₹3.75 crores
Day 14 (Nov 14): ₹3.10-3.40 crores (early trends)
As of now, the total earnings after two weeks stand at ₹241.15-241.45 crores, and the film is expected to cross the ₹250 crore mark over the coming weekend.
Performance Trends:
Second-week dip: While the second week has seen a downward trend in daily collections, the drop is not too steep—just a 17-9% decline from Day 13 to Day 14. This indicates that the film still has some traction with audiences despite mixed reviews and stiff competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Competition: The film’s performance has been affected by the rise of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which has overtaken Singham Again in day-to-day earnings. The Diwali release window that initially helped Singham Again gain massive traction seems to have passed, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is holding onto the lead with better consistency in its collections.
Third Weekend Outlook: The film is expected to get a boost during the third weekend, which could push it past the ₹250 crore mark comfortably. However, given its reported budget of ₹300 crores or more, Singham Again still has a long way to go before it can recover its costs and become profitable at the domestic box office.
Budget vs. Box Office:
The budget of Singham Again is reported to be around ₹300 crores or higher, which means that the film is still underperforming relative to its budget, as it has not yet broken even domestically. This could affect its long-term prospects unless it performs well internationally or receives a strong boost in the coming weeks.
Conclusion:
While Singham Again has managed to make a good amount at the box office, its performance in the second week has fallen below expectations, especially considering the scale of the film. With a significant budget, the film still has a lot to prove in terms of profitability. However, crossing ₹250 crores by the end of this week will be a significant milestone, and the third weekend may help it push further toward its recovery. If it can sustain some momentum or see a turnaround, it could still manage to do well in the long run.
