SINGHAM AGAIN has hit the 100 crore nett mark in Mumbai circuit becoming the thirteenth film to do so and joins a list of BLOCLBUSTER films when it is just about an AVERAGE fare. This is basically reflective of the Diwali factor and the SINGHAM brand in this area as the out performance in Mumbai circuit is huge.

The first film to hit 100 crore nett was PK in 2014 with BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION still holding the record at 180 crore nett which at the moment looks an impossible task for any film unless PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE manages to beat it. No doubt PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE initial is going to be a record in the circuit but to beat the BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION total, it needs a long run post the initial. The next best after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION is STREE 2 with 158 crore nett and the only other film above 150 crore nett.

The numbers came back in this circuit on Diwali as BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and SINGHAM AGAIN combined will have a total higher than the 180 crore nett of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION. The downside is that post pandemic feeding (corporate bookings) has become sort of a norm for many films and Mumbai is the hub of this feeding with Mumbai city and Pune leading the way for tearing tickets so some these films are higher than the fair value collections.

The 100 crore nett films in Mumbai are as follows.

2014 - PK

2016 - Dangal

2017 - Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Tiger Zinda Hai

2018 - Sanju

2020 - Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior

2022- KGF - Chapter 2

2023 - Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan, Animal

2024 - Stree 2, Singham Again

------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 6.25 crore nett in its fourth week dropping 60% from the previous week. The film has now taken its overall total to 234 crore nett which is just about an average number for the film.

The film will also benefit from Cinema Lovers Day on its fifth Friday and this could help it towards a 240 crore nett. Like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3. it will have do it all this week due to the release of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE on Thursday. The film is almost 8 crore nett behind BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in four weeks and its likely it will end around 10 crore nett behind in the final tally.

The film has hit the 100 crore nett mark in Mumbai circuit but stands at only 43 crore nett while East Punjab is worse with only 14 crore nett. outside Mumbai circuit the numbers are pretty poor in all circuits and that includes likes of CP Berar and Bihar which are single screen circuits. 

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 85,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,55,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,90,00,000 apprx

Monday - 55,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 50,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 1.75 crore nett on Cinema Lovers Day. Its total now stands at 235.75 crore nett and this film is looking at a close of 240 crore nett. The Diwali releases combined will give a total of 490 crore nett. They will be the second and third highest grossers released on Diwali after last year's TIGER 3.

SINGHAM AGAIN grossed 4.25 crore nett in its fourth weekend which is a a better hold than last weekend but collections are at lower levels. The overall total of the film stands at 232 crore nett and the film is heading for a finish of 237-238 crore nett.

The film is on the verge of hitting 100 crore nett in Mumbai circuit and will the eleventh original Hindi film to do this and overall thirteen films have managed the feat with BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and KGF - CHAPTER 2 also there. Despite Diwali being huge in the circuit, it is actually the first film to hit 100 crore nett on Diwali which is actually shows the content on Diwali has been falling short for sometime.

The film will do less than half of its Mumbai business in Delhi/UP with it likely to close around 45 crore nett. This shows outside Diwali, this 240 crore nett number may have been tough even with a solo release.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 85,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,55,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,90,00,000 apprx

SINGHAM AGAIN collected a decent 15.75 crore nett in week three with a little help from the elections in Maharashtra over the weekdays. The drop from the second week is around 67% which is lower than a drop in the second week.

The total collections of the film stand at almost 227 crore nett and it has another two weeks to collect till the release of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE which is the next major release. It will basically end the business of SINGHAM AGAIN and the other holdovers. The film was down to lower levels post the Election jump which means the film will finish with less than 240 crore nett lifetime.

The highest grosser for Ajay Devgn is TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR followed by DRISHYAM 2. SINGHAM AGAIN may just cross the DRISHYAM 2 numbers but there is a huge difference in the size of the films. Hence, while the 230 crore nett plus business is extraordinary for DRISHYAM 2, it is so so for SINGHAM AGAIN.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,30,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,40,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 85 lakhs nett on its fourth Friday which takes the collections of the film to 227.50 crore nett. The film was lagging BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 by around 50 lakhs nett on the fourth Friday.

SINGHAM AGAIN is an AVERAGE fare but a SOLO Diwali release would have meant a hit film and collections probably going towards the 300 crore nett mark. But again, like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, if it was a SOLO outside Diwali, then the number it is getting now would have been a tough ask.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,15,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,30,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,40,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 85,00,000 apprx

Diwali in 2024 has turned out be pretty good with both films looking to collect around 475 crore nett between which has never been collected before on Diwali. These numbers can actually be called good but there is feeding involved (corporate booking as per industry/media). So, the numbers are inflated and its the case for both films. This feeding is never as much the industry thinks but generally in the industry things get multiplied which sort of leaves a stigma on all the films which have gone this way and the list has many films post pandemic.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is the winner of the clash as at the end, its going to be doing more business in India and its a far smaller film than SINGHAM AGAIN. The profits are huge with the film being 100 crore in the plus for the makers. The Diwali factor has worked well for the film in a clash and its probably the right decision to come on Diwali even with a clash as when you go through how the film has performed in the circuits, its UNLIKELY the number would have been higher outside Diwali on a solo date. No doubt if it was a solo date on Diwali, then the business would have been better.

Eventually the film is the second biggest HIT from the Hindi film industry so far this year and that is a very good result but the film is not as big as HIT as the previous installment which released in 2022 and also appreciation is not at the level of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2.

SINGHAM AGAIN has suffered due to the clash but again if this film came on a solo date outside Diwali, it is practically certain the film would not be doing the number it has with this clash on Diwali. The Mumbai circuit number spells this out load and clear. SINGHAM AGAIN needed a solo Diwali which would have allowed it do what it needed theatrically. The clash has meant moderate business and with this huge budget, the film is going to be in the red even after revenue for all sources.  

The big action film today needs the main character to be more front footed and testosterone heavy in terms of aggression (GADAR 2 and ANIMAL being prime examples) to really penetrate into the mass centres and here it looks the opposite as Bajirao Singham goes more subtle. This is all fine in reality as the character is ageing but reality holds little importance as far as masses are concerned. An aggressive Ajay Devgn in the film may not have added 100 crore nett to make the film a big HIT as other flaws would have been there but it would surely have comfortably finished above BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

SINGHAM AGAIN, like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, also saw a drop on Monday due to Friday being a partial holiday. The film collected 1.15 crore nett which takes the total collections of the film to 224 crore nett.

The third week collections stand at 12 crore nett and its looking a 15 crore nett apprx from SINGHAM AGAIN. The trend here means the film will not reach the 250 crore nett mark and its looking a close of around 235 crore nett or 240 crore nett at a best case scenario.

The plus of the film is Mumbai circuit which is still on course for 100 crore nett but overall its an AVERAGE fare. Even the Average mark is a good result today but its a franchise film with a huge budget. In that context, it has to be doing far more business.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,15,00,000 apprx

The Diwali releases continue to dominate the box office despite a few new releases. BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 collected a good 4.25 crore nett which is a little up on the Thursday and now the total of the film stands at 212 crore nett and it is set for another very good week.

The film was boosted a little in North due to Guru Nanak Jayanti as both Delhi NCR and East Punjab showed good gains from the Thursday and this was basically why the film went up on Friday. The growth will be less also in these two circuits on Saturday but Mumbai and the rest will show a good jump. So, overall there should be a solid growth. The film now has a shot at 250 crore nett lifetime business as its an open period till the release of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE.

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 3 crore nett apprx on its third Friday which is similar to the Thursday and this film also benefitted in NCR and Punjab but the ratio is less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in these parts. The total collections of SINGHAM AGAIN are now 215 crore nett and even here there is an outside chance of 250 crore nett though it will be harder than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as that film has a better trend.

There is a chance now that it may well turn out to be a 500 crore Diwali and if not its going to very close. This is good news for the industry as Diwali has never been this big in the recent past and on topm both films had reports which cant be called good but still these numbers have come. Obviously, the franchise factor has to a lot to do with it which will mean even more franchise films in the near future.

SINGHAM AGAIN did well in its second week collecting 47 crore nett and taking its ten day business to 212 crore nett. The drop in the second week is over 70% which is on the higher side but with a huge holiday first week and the film suffering outside Mumbai circuit, this sort of drop was likely. Moreover, its an action film which are front loaded.

The film has collected around 9 crore nett less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in week two despite leading in the first week. The film has suffered due to the clash but its not about releasing on another date and hitting the expectations as reports are so so. This film probably needed Diwali solo to do the business it needed. Its easily crossing 225 crore nett and a solo release could have added 25-30% or even more which would have mean HIT business.

The film is flirting with 90 crore nett in Mumbai circuit and here the film is a HIT and will beat the likes of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, RRR (Hindi) and SULTAN despite all India being well short of these films.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,25,00,000 apprx 

Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN had a decent third weekend as it collected almost 11 crore nett which takes the total collections of the film to 223 crore nett. The film managed to show better growth than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 on Sunday probably due to the far higher ratio of business coming in Gujarat. Gujrat is probably also the only main area where the film will beat BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and that too comfortably.

The highlight of the film is Mumbai circuit where the collections are almost 95 crore nett and is pretty much certain to close over the 100 crore nett mark. A huge blockbuster film like ANIMAL had done 130 crore nett in Mumbai so its only 23% less here. In Gujarat, the gap may just be 10% with ANIMAL in the final run due to the holiday factor.

The collections of the film are now pretty similar to BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 despite leading by around 7 crore nett on day one. The 250 crore nett is tough for SINGHAM AGAIN due to a weaker trend than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,35,00,000 apprx

SINGHAM AGAIN is likely to remain ahead of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in terms of worldwide business due to a healthy advantage in overseas. There is an 16 crore gap between the two films in terms of worldwide collections and although BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 will cut into this lead with its India business, the gap in Overseas will not see much of a gain for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is a little better in UK and Australia while SINGHAM AGAIN has a slight edge in US/Canada. But the main gap is in Gulf where SINGHAM AGAIN will stand at $2.50 million in two weeks while BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is around $700k less and that is basically the gap in Overseas business. SINGHAM AGAIN should finish its run in the $9.5-10 million range while BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 will be $8.5-9 million.

Despite the under performance, SINGHAM AGAIN is looking to be highest Ajay Devgn grosser worldwide beating TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR. That film collected 358 crore worldwide while SINGHAM AGAIN will go above 365 crore and maybe even reach 375 crore on a best case scenario. 

The worldwide collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 for the first twelve days are as folllows

India - 241.25 crore (200 crore nett)

Overseas - 63.25 crore ($7.5 million)

The worldwide collections of SINGHAM AGAIN for 12 days are as follows.

India - 250.75 crore (206 crore nett)

Overseas -  69.50 crore ($8.25 million)

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 3.25 crore nett on its second Tuesday taking its twelve day collection to 206 crore nett. The second week stands at 41.25 crore nett so far and is looking to finish at 46 crore nett. SINGHAM AGAIN still remains 6 crore nett ahead of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 despite these lower collections in week two.

The issue for the film is its performance outside Mumbai circuit. The film could go on to do 100 crore nett in Mumbai or thereabouts while Delhi/UP will be well short of 50 crore nett. Then you have the likes of Bihar, Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI which will all finish less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and this should not be happening for an action film.

It is the excellent business in Mumbai circuit which is taking the film to the AVERAGE mark which is because the film has been more liked in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Also, the period is so strong here which has pushed the film even higher in the circuit.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,25,00,000 apprx 

SINGHAM AGAIN held up well on its second Monday as it collected around 4 crore nett which takes the film over the 200 crore nett mark.  The hold is good as the film had huge consumption in the Maharashtra/Gujarat area in the first ten days due to the festive period and also a high ratio in these parts. Yet, this circuit is still doing pretty well on the second Monday and it has not seen a huge drop.

The film has 38 crore nett so far in the second week and its looking like a 48 crore nett second week for the film which will be a 70% drop from the first week. This is a bigger drop than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 but with the genre, that is expected. SINGHAM AGAIN will face competition in week three which will hit the collections of the film and like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 pretty much rules out the chance to reach the 250 crore nett mark.

The film has a 7 crore nett lead over BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 but it is going down every day and the only thing which remains to be seen is which film gets a higher number now. The difference will not be much, maybe a couple of crores at the end, and it depend on the next few weeks.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 grossed 231.75 crore apprx worldwide in its first week which is a very good number with Overseas surpassing BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 in the first week itself. The worldwide numbers are only 30 crore short of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 which will be covered in the second weekend itself. The target is probably a 350 crore worldwide finish for the film.

SINGHAAM AGAIN grossed 250.50 crore worldwide which is decent and here its also probably a finish of 350 crore worldwide roughly as well. The film did well enough in Gulf and United Kingdom despite having Ramayan theme which would keep the Muslim audience away. These two circuits have a heavy Muslim audience as far as Hindi films go. The gaps between the two films are pretty similar in India and Overseas.

The worldwide collections of SINGHAAM AGAIN for week one are as follows.

India - 195.75 crore (161 crore nett)

Overseas -  54.75 crore ($6.5 million)

SINGHAM AGAIN did very well on Monday as it collected 17.50 crore nett which is 56% drop from the first day and first day was a national holiday. But again, its the holiday factor in Maharashtra and Gujarat and the film is getting strong numbers in these parts. The Monday collections in Mumbai circuit may well end up at around 9 crore nett which many films have not done on day one post pandemic.

The four day numbers of the film are almost 129 crore nett which is good total but this Mumbai circuit factor will come out over the next few days and the film could see drops which are bigger than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as SINGHAM AGAIN has a higher ratio in Mumbai circuit. The first week business for SINGHAM AGAIN is probably going towards the 155 crore nett mark and then it remains to be seen where it goes from there.

If we take out Mumbai circuit, then the falls are generally more than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and that is the issue for the film and the collections of the film will probably go lower than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as Mumbai circuit drops further. Also being an action film, it becomes front loaded unless the reports are very good which is not the case here.

Mumbai circuit has easily crossed 50 crore nett in four days with a clash and that is the bright spot for the film. Despite BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 being a comedy film on Diwali, the Gujarat area has gone towards SINGHAM AGAIN by a margin but a film like this needs more than one circuit to do well however big that circuit is.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 13.50 crore nett on Tuesday which is a good number allowing for the 25% apprx drop which was always coming due to the holiday factor. The drop on Wednesday will probably be more as Gujarat comes out of holiday period. The film is doing well enough at the box office in terms of trend. Its just that the numbers are not big enough for the budget of the film. 

The five day numbers of the film are 142 crore nett and that is just 10% better than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and the gap had to be more. This gap is mainly due to the weekend as on weekdays, both films are registering similar collections. The film held a little better in the North on Tuesday as compared to BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as collections were lower but Mumbai circuit showed a bigger drop though here collections are far better than the horror comedy.

The film has 142 crore nett up on the board in five days which is good considering clash as the other film itself is having a further 131 crore nett. But the fact remains that while these numbers are good enough for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, in terms of costs, they are not good enough for SINGHAM AGAIN. A film like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 could see its biggest drop on Wednesday as the holiday factor practically goes out of the equation and it could come down into single digits.

The film is probabaly looking at a first week of around 158 crore nett which is good but as mentioned before, it is probably 25% less than it should be in terms of the costs of the film.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN did well on Wednesday as it picked up 10 crore nett plus which is a drop of 25% though it could have been more as Gujarat came down heavily as the holiday period ended there and collections can still come down further here as the film has already put up huge numbers. The total collections of the film stand 152 crore nett after six days.

This means that the collections of the film should end the week at around 160 crore nett which is a good number though not for its costs and it is mainly driven by Mumbai circuit. It remains to be seen how it goes in the second week as some circuits are showing low numbers be it Delhi/UP, East Punjab or West Bengal and even mass circuits like CI and Rajasthan are feeling the heat.

There are certain shenanigans with the box office of the film over the last two days and a bit like what was happening with SALAAR as today, the industry is much creative with these sort of things rather than the content of the film. This could even make the first week total come out higher like SALAAR depending on this creativity. Eventually at some point, all this will settle but its not known when that will happen.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN has done well in its first as it collected 161 crore nett with good first week collections in places like Mumbai and CP Berar which are holding well even on the last day of the week. The film should have got higher numbers but its the clash which has not let the film get the needed numbers in the first week. There may seem to be drops on weekdays but these are decent holds post Diwali and the first week number is actually higher than you would have expected on Monday.

This problem for the film is the trend is less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 since Monday despite a better weekend and that means its likely that the second week will be less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3. The last day saw a noticeable gap in favour of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 between the two films for the first time since release.

Overall, SINGHAM AGAIN has done pretty well in its first week but today these films have huge expectations and the film has not matched those expectations. These films are expected to be Blockbuster/Super Hit but that will not happen here as there is a limit to to the business you can do after week one and also the trend is not there for the film. SINGHAM AGAIN may turn out to be an AVERAGE fare but even that depends on the business over the next ten days or so and this decent run has to be maintained.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN held up well on its second Friday with business of around 8 crore nett which is a 10% drop from the previous day. The drop is also mainly because of the Maharashtra area coming down which meant bigger drops in places like Mumbai circuit and CP Berar. This takes the collections of the film to almost 170 crore nett.

This lesser performing areas like East Punjab and NCR hardly showed drops from Thursday. The Friday hold is solid due to the holiday week but as its been a huge holiday week, its unlikely Saturday will show those huge jumps when holdovers double or go up 70-80%. The growth should be there but  not at the level of STREE 2 or KALKI 2898 AD and this will be case for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as well.

The hold points at an easy 50 crore nett week for the film but as mentioned above, the Saturday growth may not be like it was for other films and then Monday, the holiday period will be totally over all across the country. So, that 50 crore nett will be much harder. The business to come will be determined by where the film settles on the second Monday. The film has done very well in Mumbai circuit but it probably had to do more if it was to emerge an outright winner as Diwali this circuit gets the biggest boost.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN showed good growth of around 50% on its second Saturday and collected 12 crore nett plus which now takes the film to 182 crore nett. The growth is good on Saturday but less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 which is always likely due to BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 being comfortably better now in the bigger multiplexes and metro cities.

Thie second weekend so far is 20 crore nett and it should do a 34-35 crore nett second weekend which is a solid number. The film is holding well enough and will run through November and the Saturday number confirms the film is successful; it should turn out to be an AVERAGE fare. It should have done better but generally the numbers are not there outside Mumbai circuit. Actually that is the wrong way to put it, the numbers are there but they are not good enough.

Basically if the film had beaten BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in the rest of the country as well like it has in Mumbai circuit, then SINGHAM AGAIN would also have been a HIT or SUPER HIT film.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 17,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 13,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 10,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN recorded a good second weekend collecting 34 crore nett which takes the film to 195 crore nett but the film will see lower collections from here as its end of the holiday season. The film managed to show better growth than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 on Sunday as it has a higher ratio of business from mass centres and Gujarat was one of the areas to show growth on Sunday.

The film now stands at a huge 85 crore nett in Mumbai circuit and should finish at around 100 crore nett which is pretty similar to the business of the likes of DANGAL and PK. But on the other side, most other circuits are seeing numbers less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and in the likes of East Punjab and West Bengal, there will be quite a big difference.

Overall, the numbers still lead BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 but the gap is coming down day by day and it could be in terms of lifetime business that BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 could go ahead by a small margin. Basically, some circuits were always going to be better for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 but the surprise is the likes of Bihar, CP, CI and Rajasthan where SINGHAM AGAIN is already behind and by the end of run its sure to be behind in all these circuits.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and SINGHAM AGAIN collected similar totals in Overseas with the latter coming out with a bigger total and slightly higher collections mainly due to better business in the Gulf area. The business of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is around $4.3-4.4 million which is INR 36.50 crore and the total for SINGHAM AGAIN will be $4.8-4.9 million which is INR 40.50 crore.

Both films have done well as both films won't have huge audience in Overseas but the collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 come out more impressive as its a smaller film. The worldwide numbers for SINGHAM AGAIN are 175.50 crore for the weekend while BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is 157 crore. Again the numbers are impressive but it all depends on where they go on from here. A $10 million total for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 would be very good and for SINGHAM AGAIN it would be decent as well though it probably has to do near $15 million to be good.

The collections of both films in main markets of Overseas are as follows and its practically similar in all the markets.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - $1,225,000

Singham Again - $1,385,000

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - C$945,000

Singham Again - C$865,000

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - £410,000

Singham Again - £360,000

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - $1,000,000

Singham Again - $1,200,000

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 - A$620,000

Singham Again - A$618,000

SINGHAM AGAIN scored a good first weekend as it comfortably crossed the 100 crore nett mark in 3 days and picked up 111 crore nett plus which is a big number considering another film released alongside and which also picked up 100 crore nett. The bigger films are now doing weekend business in excess of 150 crore nett but that was never going to be the case for SINGHAM AGAIN due to the clash, unless the other film was not collecting.

There is a drop on Sunday which was expected but maybe its a little more here as the film goes down 15%. This is mainly due to a drop in East Punjab and Delhi/UP as BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 edged past in the latter. The film was much better in Mumbai circuit where the drop was well under 10%. Gujarat continued to be extraordinary as it stood around 20 crore nett in just 3 days.

The film has probably suffered due to the clash as far as the weekend goes as it could have done without another film especially in the North and East where maybe the franchise is not as strong. Even Mumbai circuit would have been higher though that has got very good collections with the clash.  Basically SINGHAM AGAIN has done well enough in the weekend considering the potential to collect but the issue is its high budget and post the opening day, it trended weaker than the other film BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

The film has managed to stay ahead of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 on each day over the weekend but that may well be harder over the weekdays looking at the trend though better collections in Gujarat will help. The problem looks to be Delhi/NCR and East Punjab for the film.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx

Sunday - 33,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and SINGHAM AGAIN have done pretty much similar business on day one with the latter being 20% ahead which is pretty much the same as India. The collections are pretty much similar across all the main markets with just a little difference in Gulf in the favour of SINGHAM AGAIN. The surprise is United Kingdom where BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 has better collections by around £15k.

The Overseas collections were $1.5 million (INR 12.50 crore) for SINGHAM AGAIN and $1.25 million (10.50 crore) for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 on the opening day. The collections for SINGHAM AGAIN are decent while they are very good for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3. SINGHAM AGAIN had a big cast including female stars like Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone who are bonafide stars in Overseas but in this zone, the value could be limited as the film driven by others.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 getting over a $1 million is a great result and the film should do well from from here in Overseas as well as it could trend better than SINGHAM AGAIN especially if India can go on a good run.

The difference between the films was mainly $125k in Gulf and around $100k coming from SINGHAM AGAIN with a bigger release. In US/Canada, Australia and United Kingdom, both films contributed almost ditto totals in all three circuits.

The opening day worldwide figures are 58.50 crore for SINGHAM AGAIN and 50 crore for BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

SINGHAM AGAIN scored well on its first day as it collected 37.5-38 crore nett and managed to finish 5 crore nett up on the competition BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 when the opening in the morning was less in many parts of the country. The film ran better in current as it has a bigger male mass audience but as its a big budget film with many actors. it turned out to be practically a national holiday and the film needed higher collections on this day.

The collections are good for the potential it had to collect and in fact they can be called very good in that way but not for the budget of the film as the film needed to be around 50 crore nett considering it turned out to be a big holiday. If not 50 crore nett, then 45 crore at least should have been the first day earnings. Basically the clash has not let the film do what it needed to do while BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, being a smaller film with lower expectations, has got collections which are more than it needed.

The highlight for the film was Mumbai circuit which will be in that 14-15 crore nett which is actually among one of the top 5-7 collections ever in the circuit and its come in clash when the other film has also collected over 10 crore nett. A 25 crore nett total combined in Mumbai is insane as JAWAN holds the record and was a little over 17 crore nett. PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE can maybe eye this Mumbai combined total on its own though it has to be taken with a pinch of salt as feeding is likely to be here as it always most prevalent in Mumbai.

SINGHAM AGAIN was pretty much clean in advances but what the industry calls corporate booking seems to be evident in current which is sad. Despite this good first day number, the film has a lot of work to do as the weeeknd should go over 100 crore nett. But in terms of business for big films, a higher number is needed. The film has a higher contribution in Mumbai circuit and hence, it could drop more than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as that circuit behaved like an outright national holiday on Friday.

The highlight for the film was Gujarat as it challenged the highest day ever in the circuit of KGF - CHAPTER 2 and it is the silver lining for the film as Gujarat has an extended holiday. So, it can continue to benefit here but on the other side were dull collections in East Punjab and West Bengal. Overall it is a good Diwali with 70 crore nett coming between the two films. It is actually great if we take the 70 crore nett on face value but that's not actually the case is reality.

-----------------------------------------

SINGHAM AGAIN has done well on Saturday as it collected around 38 crore nett plus showing a minor drop but the trend is weaker than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 which managed small gains. The business in multiplexes was pretty flat or even up in places but the film had a higher ratio of business coming from places like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Nizam/Andhra which were always going to go down.

The two day numbers of the film are still good at 78 crore nett and the film is going to be comfortably over the 100 crore nett mark for the weekend and despite expectations being higher, a clash does limit the potential of the film. The concern is that the trend is weaker than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and that has to change at some point for the film to actually do well. Being an action film, this is tough as they tend to be more front loaded.

The film continues to go strong in Gujarat and that is the bright spot and holidays in the state post the weekend will help but the problem is that Rohit Shetty films tend to do well mainly in West and Central. Today, with the sort of collections needed, that may not be good enough especially as Maharashtra in the West just does not perform like before for the majority of films. Like BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, SINGHAM AGAIN has benefitted from the two day holiday period and collections are likely to drop on Sunday as well but it cannot afford to drop more than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

The collections of SINGHAM AGAIN till date are as follows.

Friday - 40,00,00,000 apprx 

Saturday - 38,25,00,00 apprx
