Box Office India Trade Network

DRISHYAM 2 again has taken advantage of weak competition as it collected in the 2.25 crore nett range which is a little higher than Thursday. This is mainly because of no competition. This takes the collections of the film to 193.50 crore nett and it will cross the 195.50 crore nett number of SOORYAVANSHI on Saturday and be second to BRAHMASTRA post pandemic for original Hindi films with organic collections.

The 230 crore nett total of BRAHMASTRA (Hindi) is out of reach now as its very unlikely that DRISHYAM 2 will not maintain this 45% weekly drop range when AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER releases. It is probably looking at a number of 215-220 crore nett which is more than good and extraordinary in terms of the box office scenario today.

The fourth Friday collections of the film are second only to KGF - CHAPTER 2 post pandemic as that film collected 3.75 crore nett was in that post Eid period. The film is now collecting better than RRR (Hindi) on a daily basis so the fourth week collections should emerge higher than that film.

The collections of DRISHYAM 2 till date are as follows
Week One - 1,02,37,00,000
Week Two - 57,16,00,000
Third Week - 31,50,00,000 apprx 
Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,93,48,00,000 apprx
-------------------------------------------
DRISHYAM 2 recorded the ninth highest third week on record and third highest post pandemic after the big South dubbed films KGF - CHAPTER 2 and RRR. It is the highest post pandemic third week for original Hindi content. It is the first original Hindi film to cross 30 crore nett post the pandemic though the likes of BRAHMASTRA and THE KASHMIR FILES were close.

There are only eleven films to collect more than 30 crore nett plus in third week and its the ten below plus PADMAAVAT. Despite these huge third week numbers, Ajay Devgn still has a bigger third week with TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR but that is down to Maharashtra as in all other areas DRISHYAM 2 is better. Maharashtra along with Gujarat is also the best performer for DRISHYAM 2 but TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR was at a different level and on par with BAHAUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION in the state and better than the likes of KGF - CHAPTER 2 and DANGAL.

The collections of DRISHYAM 2 are better than TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR in Gujarat, Delhi/UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan, CI as well as the Eastern markets and that is the running total as well as third week. 

The top ten third weeks of all time are as follows.
1 Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion 69,63,00,000
2 KGF Chapter 2 - 47,53,00,000
3 Dangal - 44,02,00,000
4 PK - 41,32,00,000
5 Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior - 38,48,00,000
6 Uri - The Surgical Strike - 37,06,00,000
