Sooryavanshi Box Office Collection Day 3: Akshay Kumar's Film 'Runs Riot' At Rs 77 Crore And Counting
Box Office India Trade Network

SOORYAVANSHI emerged the 12th highest grosser ever in Mumbai circuit with business close to 86 crore nett. Pre pandemic, the film would probably have been a 100 crore nett film in the circuit and possibly even the third best of all time after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR.

The appreciation for the film in this circuit was very good which is not the case in some other circuits for whom it was a very average film. But Mumbai is a big circuit and so, it takes the film a long way to give a good overall picture. In fact both SOORYAVANSHI and PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 (Hindi) have done well in practically the same markets though obviously SOORYAVANSHI has higher numbers.

Both films have found the most appreciation in Mumbai/Gujarat while there were few takers for both in East Punjab. The gap is bigger between the two films where they have found little appreciation as PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 (Hindi) will do around 55% of SOORYAVANSHI in Mumbai but only 30% in East Punjab.

In Delhi NCR it is even lower (Delhi shut in second week otherwise similar gap as East Punjab). So where the films have found less appreciation the Akshay Kumar factor comes into play for more footfalls and though Rohit Shetty films have a slight south feel they will still be closer to home than an outright South film be it in East Punjab, Delhi/UP, Rajasthan, West Bengal or CI.
