ANIMAL continued its dream run on the last day of the week as it remained strong and above 20 crore nett with collections of 22.50 crore nett. The film has seen similar drops over the weekdays of around 15% which is fantastic considering the high level of the collections of the film.
This film has collected 289 crore nett in its first week and its a normal Fri - Thu week without any holidays. Yet, it is the highest collections ever without any holiday support in the first week. The film has an 'A' certification and it has probably not hindered the film too much as the female audience is also coming out in numbers.
The collections are fantastic in mass centres with places like CP Berar, CI and Gujarat being better than the likes of JAWAN and PATHAAN. The collections in Mumbai circuit will be around the 80 crore nett mark and Delhi UP will be about 60 crore nett. East Punjab is extraordinary beating except GADAR 2 but that film had a holiday midweek and had a phenomenal collection on that day.
The numbers could have been better in West Bengal and Assam but the former has still managed 11 crore nett plus which is excellent but comparatively to other circuits, it is a bit less. The key now is the second Friday to keep it in line for that 500 crore nett. As ticket rates go back up, it has a shot a historic second Friday which is highest of all time.
The first week numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx
Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,89,00,00,000 apprx
The dubbed version had a drop on the last day of the week as the bulk of the collections are coming from Telugu version in Nizam/Andhra and there was a local release there which probably hit the collections. The business in its dubbed versions was 37 crore nett for the week and all formats total is 326 crore nett.
-------------------------------------------
ANIMAL collected a miracle 61 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra with the Telugu version having record collections of 33 crore nett. The Hindi version itself was outstanding with almost 28 crore nett and this is also the highest first week in Nizam/Andhra for a Hindi film beating JAWAN and PATHAAN which were around the 25 crore nett mark.
The film is already the highest ever in Telugu in the circuit comfortably beating the numbers of JAWAN and there is more to come. It will also be the record holder in Hindi as it is sure to cross the 40 crore nett mark. It remains the see if the film can reach the 100 crore nett mark but a lot will depend on how the Telugu version collects post the first week. The Hindi version is likely to get to 50 crore nett or at least very close.
The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.
Friday
Hindi - 6,09,00,000
Telugu - 8,55,00,000
TOTAL - 14,64,00,000
Saturday
Hindi - 4,80,00,000
Telugu - 6,81,00,000
TOTAL - 11,61,00,000
Sunday
Hindi - 5,52,00,000
Telugu - 7,08,00,000
TOTAL - 12,60,00,000
Monday
Hindi - 3,14,00,000
Telugu - 3,52,00,000
TOTAL - 6,66,00,000
Tuesday
Hindi - 3,29,00,000
Telugu - 3,10,00,000
TOTAL - 6,39,00,000
Wednesday
Hindi - 2,61,00,000
Telugu - 2,50,00,000
TOTAL - 5,11,00,000
Thursday

Telugu - 1,64,00,000
TOTAL - 3,77,00,000
TOTAL
Hindi - 27,61,00,000
Telugu - 33,20,00,000
GRAND TOTAL - 60,81,00,000
-------------------------------------------
ANIMAL had the third highest first week of all time and became the eleventh film to cross 200 crore nett in one week. It was the fifth film to cross 250 crore nett and JAWAN and PATHAAN remain the only two films to cross the 300 crore nett mark in seven days.
The comparison for ANIMAL will be GADAR 2 and it will have to follow that films route to 500 crore nett. ANIMAL is around 7 crore nett ahead and has to at least keep this lead or go further ahead at the end of week two. GADAR 2 added 37 crore nett after its third week and that will be the crunch for ANIMAL as with the huge competition on Christmas, it is unlikely to do that unless the Christmas films don't work at all.
The film is sure to beat the numbers of JAWAN and PATHAAN post the first week but those films had extended first weekends and therefore, had healthy leads over the other big films in the first week. The 250 crore nett mark in week one now has to be there for a big film which opens well and these numbers will only go higher with the correct films as audiences are neglecting the smaller films and waiting for the bigger ones at this point of time.
The eleven films to have crossed 200 crore nett in week one are as follows.
1. Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000
2. Jawan - 3,15,79,00,00
3. Animal - 2,89,00,000 apprx
4. Gadar 2 - 2,81,44,00,000
5. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,50,51,00,000
6. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 2,46,47,00,000
7. Sultan - 2,08,99,00,000
8 Tiger Zinda Hai - 2,06,04,00,000
9 War - 2,03,39,00,000
10. Tiger - 2,02,41,00,000
11 Sanju - 2,00,16,00,000
-------------------------------------------
ANIMAL created history on the second Friday as it collected an insane 22 crore nett which is the highest second Friday of all time and the first time the second Friday has gone over 22 crore nett. The film is a sensation and another ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER for the film industry. 2023 has seen a line of them though the pandemic has probably changed a few things and that's why there have been four hits of the magnitude in one year.
The holds are superb across the board and with all centres across the country barring TNK just doing phenomenal numbers. The second weekend is easily going to be the highest ever and the second week may well emerge the highest ever.
There are not many words to describe this second Friday business and the film will is sure to hit 500 crore nett. If there were was a clear run for 4-5 weeks, this film would cross the business of JAWAN in Hindi.
The first week numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx
Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx
Week One - 2,89,00,00,000 apprx
Friday - 22,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 3,11,00,00,000 apprx
-------------------------------------------
ANIMAL smashed all records on its second Friday as it collected 22 crore nett and comfortably beat the likes of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and GADAR 2 both of which were just a little short of 20 crore nett.
The length coupled with the huge acceptance of the film is coming into play. The length of the film and a clash meant it could not get the same peak time screening as some of the other big films. The length of the film was looked as a negative but now that the film has found huge acceptance, it will be boon post the first week.
The records will continue to fall in week two and week three as the film puts up record numbers. The film has potential of a 100 crore nett second weekend which has never happened before and also a 150 crore nett week two which also has never happened. Just before the pandemic, a 100 crore nett second week was a huge deal and now we are talking about 100 crore second weekends.
Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time.
1. Animal - 22,00,00,000 apprx
2. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 19,81,00,000
3. Gadar 2 ,19,62,00,000
4. The Kashmir Files - 18,86,00,000
5. Dangal - 17,84,00,000
6. Jawan - 16,21,00,000
7. PK - 14,52,00,000
8. RRR (Hindi) - 13,35,00,000
9. Pathaan - 12,73,00,000
10. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 12,56,00,000
11. Sanju - 12,09,00,000

16. The Kerala Story - 11,13,00,000
17. 3 Idiots - 10,54,00,000 (Holiday)
18. Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior - 9,71,00,000
19. Padmaavat - 9,47,00,000
20. Dhoom 3 - 9,42,00,000
-------------------------------------------
ANIMAL continues to create history on its second Saturday as it becomes the film to collect over 30 crore nett on the second Saturday. It had already become the first film to cross 20 crore nett on the second Friday and now it remains to be seen if it goes to 40 crore nett plus on the second Sunday.
The previous best second Saturday was GADAR 2 at a little under 30 crore nett. Going by the trend of that film, it should cross 40 crore nett as its trending around 5% better on the second weekend. GADAR 2, however, had the single screen factor on Sunday where its levels were higher compared to ANIMAL and they really came to the fore on Sunday.
The film remains on course for the 500 crore nett mark and should be there or very close to that mark by the time the Christmas releases come. The total collections so far in Hindi are 342.50 crore nett and within two weeks it will probably have only the four 500 crore nett films ahead of it.
The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Animal collects 266.50 cr in 6 days

ANIMAL had another huge day as it collected 26.50 crore nett on Wednesday. The drop is more than Tuesday but these drops are going to be there for a film which is collecting these crazy numbers on the weekdays. Eventually when second Friday comes, the 20 crore nett number is the target for the biggest blockbuster films and till date it has never been done.
The total collections of the film are 266.50 nett in six days and its heading for the 290 crore nett mark for the first week which will be the third best of all time. If we compare the Wednesday collections with the other biggies, then ANIMAL is far better than PATHAAN and JAWAN but less than GADAR 2. but GADAR 2 had its fall on Thursday and eventually Friday was near the 20 crore nett mark.
The plus for ANIMAL is the mass appreciation as collections in mass centres are huge and these mass circuits are heading for higher numbers than jawan. Eastern India could have been a bit better but North and Central are phenomenal. It remains to be seen if the second week can hit a record and Friday will tell if it has a chance.
The six day numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx
Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,66,50,00,000 apprx
The dubbed version has added around 2.75 crore nett with the Telugu version in Nizam/Andhra collecting well again. The dubbed version collections are 35 crore nett plus giving the film a 301 crore nett total on all formats.
Animal collects 240 cr in 5 days; continues to rock the show in Nizam/Andhra

ANIMAL continued its extraordinary run at the box office with collections of 32.50 crore nett on its first Tuesday which takes the total of the film to 240 crore nett in Hindi. The drop is only 15% with some circuits showing an even lesser drop.
A 30 crore nett plus number has never come on a Tuesday before when there has not been a holiday and in fact outside holidays, even a 25 crore nett number has not come which shows the level at which ANIMAL is collecting. The week is heading for a number around the 290 crore nett mark depending on the drops over the next two days.
The lifetime of the film is dependent on a few factors with the first being where the film lands on the second Friday which could be a record number for the second Friday. The trend of the film suggests a 500 crore nett plus number but there are obstacles in the way like the two big Christmas releases which will curtail the business in a big way. Basically, if the film is to get 500 crore nett, it has to be there or at least very close within the three weeks. The way it is going at the moment this is very much possible but there is a long way to go.
The five day numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx
TOTAL - 2,40,00,00,000 apprx
The film stands at around 28.50 crore nett in Telugu in Nizam / Andhra in five days and a further 4 crore nett in dubbed formats across the rest of India. This gives a dubbed total of 32.50 crore nett and an all format total of 272.50 crore nett.
--------------------------------
ANIMAL recorded the fourth highest Monday ever of all time but the three films above it all had some holiday support. TIGER 3 was a huge national holiday and it was only the second day for the film after a Sunday release. So, that can actually be discounted but for the records, the fact is that it was the first Monday of the film.
BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION was a holiday and while GADAR 2 was not a holiday; it had an advantage of there being a huge national holiday the next day which would have benefited the film. The actual best first Monday which has no holiday or holiday affect is JAWAN and that film collected a little over 28 crore nett and ANIMAL is 10 crore nett higher than that film.
The collections of ANIMAL on Monday are also 13 crore nett more than the other major grossers post the pandemic (PATHAAN and KGF - CHAPTER 2). A 30 crore nett number is phenomenal for a weekday especially without a holiday and now it remains to be seen how many days it can stay above 30 crore nett over the weekdays as that is difficult to do for one day without holiday support.
The top Mondays of all time are as follows.
1. Tiger 3 - 56,08,00,000 (Holiday, Day Two)
2. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 39.81 crore (Partial Holiday)
3. Gadar 2 - 38.36 crore
4. Animal (Hindi) - 38,00,00,000 apprx
5. Tiger Zinda Hai - 36.53 (Holiday)
6. Housfull 4 - 34.12 crore apprx (Holiday)
7. Krrish 3 - 29.64 crore (Holiday)
8. Jawan (Hindi) - 28,61,00,000
9. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 26.78 crore (Holiday)
10. KGF - Chapter 2 - 25.24 crore
11. Dangal - 24.98 crore
12. Sanju - 24.63 crore
13. Pathaan - 24.51 crore
14. Simmba - 21.19 crore
15. PK - 21.15 crore
15. War - 20,18,00,000 (Partial holiday)
16. Dhoom 3 - 19.87 crore
17. Ek Tha Tiger - 18.96 crore (Holiday)
18. Tubelight - 18.14 crore (Holiday)
19. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - 17.68 crore (Holiday)
20. Rustom - 17.48 crore (Holiday)
--------------------------------
ANIMAL recorded the highest non holiday Tuesday of all time only behind GADAR 2 which got benefit on Independence Day and recorded an insane 55 Crore nett. But if we look outside the holiday factor, then only ANIMAL is above 30 crore nett and only ANIMAL and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION are over 25 crore nett.
The trend of the film is superior to JAWAN and PATHAAN though those films had extended weekends. Hence, these films would have suffered more fatigue on the weekdays. It is a little weaker than GADAR 2 though it has higher collections and GADAR 2 had its fall on Thursday. It remains to be seen where ANIMAL is on Thursday. The first week business of ANIMAL will be higher than GADAR 2 and both were a Friday release and ANIMAL has had no holiday support.
GADAR 2 collected around 235 crore nett after the first week and if ANIMAL does that, it would be a comfortable 500 crore nett plus total. But as mentioned before, the run will face a huge two huge obstacles in the face of DUNKI and SALAAR after three weeks.
The top first Tuesday collections of all time are below
1. Gadar 2 - 55,23,00,000 (Holiday)
2. Animal - 32,50,00,000 apprx
3. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi) - 29,78,00,00
4. Simmba - 27,93,00,000 (Holiday)
5. War - 27,13,00,000 (Holiday)
6. Kick - 26,82,00,000 (Holiday)
7. Housefull 4 - 24,07,00,000 (Partial Holiday)
8. Jawan - 23,08,00,000
9. Dangal - 22,39,00,000
10. Sanju - 21,62,00,000
11. Tiger Zinda Hai- 21,60,00,000
12. Krrish 3 - 21,33,00,000 (Partial Holiday)
13. Pathaan - 20,97,00,000
14. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 20,78,00,000 (Partial Holiday)
15. PK - 19,87,00,000
--------------------------------
ANIMAL continues its extraordinary run in Nizam/Andhra as it collected a huge 6.66 crore nett in the circuit on Monday. The Hindi version was outstanding as it crossed the 3 crore nett mark while the Telugu version is doing roaring business also with 3.50 crore nett plus on Monday.
The film should comfortably cross the 50 crore nett mark in five days and should end the week at almost 60 crore nett. The Hindi version should soon start collecting more than Telugu. The Telugu version will be the highest grosser for a Hindi film by the end of the week and the second week will tell where it will go.
The Hindi version will for sure be the highest grosser in the circuit as it will beat the numbers of JAWAN and PATHAAN and if this pace keeps up it could beat by a margin and that is when PATHAAN and JAWAN beat the previous best by a margin. There was this dumb talk about how Telugu cinema would become the biggest in the country but talk means nothing. The fact today is that Hindi films have slowly and silently upped their pie in this circuit and numbers always speak louder than words.
The fact that post JAWAN and ANIMAL the 100 crore nett becomes realistic is in itself huge as there will not be many local films which have hit this mark with genuine collections and not the crazy numbers that go around. The first time a film did 100 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra was BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING in 2015 and that film went to 150 crore plus. After that, there will probably around 15 films to go over 100 crore and if ANIMAL does the miracle, it will join the list. The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.
Friday
Hindi - 6,09,00,000
Telugu - 8,55,00,000
TOTAL - 14,64,00,000
Saturday
Hindi - 4,80,00,000

GRAND TOTAL - 45,32,00,000
--------------------------------
The ANIMAL phenomena continued in Nizam/Andhra as overall collections remained rock steady while the Hindi version in Nizam/Andhra actually showed a strong jump. The jump on Tuesday in Nizam/Andhra is not reflected in the collections as much as it should in the Hindi version as there was the regular fall in the Marathawada side of the circuit. The hold is crazy for this circuit especially with a regional version there.
The Hindi version collections just edged past the Telugu version and it should continue to do better from here till the end of the run. The film stands at a historic 52 crore nett in just five days and collections are rock steady even in Telugu at the moment. But this can drop of in the second week depending on the competition from local films. Nevertheless, it has already collected as much as JAWAN did in Telugu.
The Hindi version will for sure be the highest grosser in the circuit as it will beat the numbers of JAWAN and PATHAAN and if this pace keeps up, it could beat by a margin and that is when PATHAAN and JAWAN beat the previous best by a margin. The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.

Animal collects 207.50 cr in 4 days; 341 cr worldwide gross; smashes all records in Nizam/Andhra

ANIMAL had a huge first weekend of almost 170 crore nett with both Saturday and Sunday going up 8-10% despite having restrictions with capacity due to length and clash. The overall growth was not huge on Sunday but in mass pockets, the film went bonkers with huge numbers.
The film looks to have got the highest ever single day in East Punjab, CI, Bihar and possibly even in Gujarat. The last one is huge as its a very conservative state but collections went out of the roof on Sunday and its reported that there was a huge female turnout as well. When this happens for an 'A' certificate film in a state like Gujarat, it means there is no stopping the film. Its pretty much like the certification not meaning much. Basically, despite the violence and sex in the film, it has found universal acceptance all over and the film has worked in totality. The film is going to run super strong post the weekend.
The lags in the box office are West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The last two named are poor but also don't really matter much for the box office of Hindi films. However, West Bengal could have been a bit better but there will be a good chance that the circuit will hold up better in the long run. The film has been rejected in Tamil Nadu/Kerala. East Punjab, Delhi/UP, CI, Bihar, Nizam/Andhra and Mysore are the standouts.
The three day numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,69,50,00,000 apprx
The film also has a dubbed version in Telugu which has done extremely well in Nizam/Andhra over the first weekend collecting 22.50 crore nett. The total collection in Nizam/Andhra in all languages was a huge 37 crore nett.
Below are the Telugu version numbers from Nizam/Andhra
Friday - 8,55,00,000
Saturday - 6,81,00,000
Sunday - 7,08,00,000
TOTAL - 22,44,00,000
The film collected a further. 3.50 crore nett in dubbed versions be in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam for a dubbed total of 25 crore nett for the first weekend. This means a weekend of around 195 crore nett in all languages.
---------------------------------------
ANIMAL has notched up phenomenal collections in Nizam/Andhra with almost 39 crore nett over the first three days in all formats. The film was strong from the first day in Nizam and Andhra and Marathwada also came into the picture on Sunday with a solid 80 lakhs nett.
The film has beaten JAWAN which did business of 34 crore nett in FOUR days though there, the Hindi contribution was 19 crore nett over the FOUR days. The awareness about the director has helped huge in Nizam/Andhra and not just in Telugu but Hindi as the audience which understands Hindi would watch the original film. The value of the director will shoot up huge in the Hindi circuits now after ANIMAL.
In this market, the film is likely to be the highest grosser ever in Hindi beating JAWAN and PATHAAN and also probably the highest grossing non South film beating AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. If the film really holds, it will have an outside chance of 100 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra which not many Telugu films do in the state in actual collections. The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.
Friday
Hindi - 6,09,00,000
Telugu - 8,55,00,000
Saturday
Hindi - 4,80,00,000
Telugu - 6,81,00,000
Sunday
Hindi - 5,52,00,000
Telugu - 7,08,00,000
TOTAL
Hindi - 16,41,00,000
Telugu - 22,24,00,000
GRAND TOTAL - 38,65,00,000
---------------------------------------
ANIMAL has collected huge numbers in overseas with collections around $12.75 million including collections from the Telugu version. The standout was the North American market with over $6 million and $5.4 million coming from the Hindi version. The rest from Telugu is in itself a huge number. The next best was Australia which did business of over A$2 million
The United Kingdom was an excellent £700k while Gulf also recorded huge collections of $2.25 million but this is comparatively less than other films. The Khans rule in this market and outside the Khans, the only film better than ANIMAL is WAR and that is only by a little margin.
The worldwide numbers of the film area a huge 303 crore and that is Hindi alone. This is the third 300 crore worldwide weekend after PATHAAN and JAWAN. The film also has another 38 crore worldwide coming from regional versions which gives the film a worldwide total of 341 crore on all formats.

---------------------------------------
ANIMAL was simply unbelievable on Monday as it recorded huge numbers of 38 crore nett which is a drop of under 30% and that is coming from a huge 50 crore nett plus number on day one. The drop at the bigger national multiplexes was just 27% for the Hindi version despite the ticket rate drop.
The mass circuits dropped even less the national chains but that was compensated by a bigger drop in South where it does have a healthy chunk of business. This takes the film to a huge 207 crore nett and the week should end up in the range of 290-300 crore nett. These numbers are coming without the aid of any holidays and the holds in core markets are much stronger than the all India number.
The length of the film hit collections over the weekend as it had nowhere to go in peak viewing periods but that is benefitting the film now as with a lesser audience on weekdays, the capacity is less of a problem. The film has dropped a little more in the South (it was very high on day one) but Hindi circuits have killed it on the Monday. ANIMAL has a better all round performance than PATHAAN, GADAR 2 and JAWAN but where it stands with these films will depend a lot on what happens when the Christmas films come.
The drops are just 20% from Friday in the main circuits like Mumbai, Delhi/UP and East Punjab. The Monday box office numbers are the highest ever when Monday has not been a holiday or there is some holiday affect on the day. All in all a phenomenal result on Monday for the film.
The four day numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,07,50,00,000 apprx

ANIMAL had another extraordinary day of 56 crore nett on day two which takes the two day collections to 108.50 crore nett in Hindi. The growth was very good in the multiplexes but as the mass areas had opened to big numbers on day one, they were not going to go up on Saturday. However, it should be different on Sunday as these areas usually go above the levels on Friday.
Still, mass pockets like Rajasthan, CI, Gujarat and Maharashtra have managed to show an upward trend on Saturday while East Punjab recorded phenomenal numbers on Saturday as it was the case with NCR. There was a drop in Nizam/Andhra but overall, both Nizam/Andhra and Mysore are outstanding in Hindi with numbers similar to JAWAN.
The two day collection of the film in Hindi is 108.50 crore nett and it will be a 170 crore nett weekend. It has an outside chance to maybe even have the highest first weekend of all time. The film is very lengthy which has restricted capacity for the film and at many places occupancy has been strong from day one which leaves it little space to grow. This should ensure the film holds up strongly post the weekend and no doubt the film is another huge hit; time will prove how huge.
The two numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.
Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,08,50,00,000 apprx
The film also has a dubbed version in Telugu which is doing very well as it collected 9.25 crore nett on day one and 6.50 crore nett apprx on day two giving it a two day total of 15.75 crore nett in two days. There are not many films outside the big local Telugu stars which collect 9 crore nett plus in Nizam/Andhra.
The other dubbed versions have limited numbers with total dubbed collections being 10 crore nett on Friday and 7.25 crore nett on Saturday for a 17.25 crore nett total. The two day numbers of ANIMAL in all formats are 62.50 crore nett on day one and 63.25 crore nett on day two for a total of 125.75 crore nett.
