SAIYAARA maintained its superb run on the last day of the week as it recorded collections of 19 crore nett. This gives the film a total of 172 crore nett in the first week which already makes it the second highest grosser of the year as it beats the numbers of RAID 2. This 172 crore nett itself is a crazy number for the film and there is much more to come.
The Thursday of the film has landed just 10% less than the first day showing phenomenal trending over the weekdays and there is a possibility that the film could go a little higher on its second Friday which will mean that the first day is pretty much similar to the day. This strength is not coming on collections at levels of 3-4 crore nett but at 20 crore nett levels which shows the appreciation the film has found.
As its a non cast film, you would expect the bigger centres to lead but its not the case here as its mass areas leading with stronger collections be it UP, Bihar, Rajasthan and MP. The collections in Bihar could beat the likes of ANIMAL and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION, which is unthinkable for a film like this in this single screen dominated circuit.
The collections of SAIYAARA till date are as follows.
Friday - 21,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 26,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 35,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 23,75,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 24,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 21,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 19,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,72,00,00,000 apprx
--------------------------------------
SAIYAARA recorded phenomenal collection overseas over the weekdays as it collected $2 million apprx on the weekend and added $3 million over the weekdays. The Sunday growth in overseas signalled that the weekdays were going to see some strong holds and that is what happened. The film is now on a huge run overseas where Day 8 will be far bigger than day 1.
The film has collected $1.75 million in US/Canada and $1.8 million in Gulf. United Kingdom is also outstanding at £540k. Australia had started lower compared to the other circuits but has done very well post Monday. The film looks on course for an easy $10 million total in Overseas and its the second week that will define how much further it will go.
The worldwide numbers of the film are now 250 crore plus in one week at 251.50 crore and the film looks set to cross the 600 crore mark worldwide.
The worldwide total numbers of the film are as follows.
India - 208.50 crore (172 crore nett)
Overseas - 43 crore ($5 million)
TOTAL - 251.50 crore
