In an unprecedented display of cinematic might, “Singham Again” has stormed into the record books with its opening day collection, despite a box office clash with the eagerly anticipated horror-comedy “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.” Featuring a star-studded cast including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone, “Singham Again” managed to rake in an astonishing ₹44-46 crore nett on its debut day, even though it had to share approximately 40-45% of India’s screens with its competitor.
Directed by the master of action, Rohit Shetty, and led by the formidable Ajay Devgn, the film has not only redefined the opening day metrics for action films in Bollywood but has also surpassed the first-day earnings of its predecessor, “Singham Returns,” which collected ₹32 crore nett. This performance reaffirms the status of Devgn and Shetty as a powerhouse duo in the Hindi film industry, known for delivering massive commercial successes.
The initial feedback from the audience has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the film’s action sequences, narrative depth, and the chemistry among the ensemble cast. This positive word of mouth is expected to propel “Singham Again” towards an impressive weekend collection, likely exceeding ₹110 crore.
Industry experts believe that if “Singham Again” had not clashed with “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” it might have easily breached the ₹60 crore nett mark on day one, indicating the film’s strong standalone appeal.
The film’s success also shines a spotlight on Jio Studios, which has established itself as one of the top three production houses in the country. Their latest venture not only showcases their knack for backing big-budget, high-return projects but also their ability to navigate competitive release schedules effectively.
As “Singham Again” looks set for a long and lucrative run at the box office, with projections suggesting it could cross ₹300 crore nett in India, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Bollywood’s action genre and the star power of its leading actors.
