New Delhi. Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s much awaited film Vikram Vedha has hit the theaters. The film is not able to show as much as there was talk about the film at the box office. With the release, Vikram Vedha made a slow start on the first day and now the second day collection of the film has also come out, which is not showing any significant increase in the film’s earnings.
First day’s collection was disappointing
So far this year, the films of many big stars including Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar have beaten at the box office, but Hrithik Roshan’s film has failed to compete with them. The net collection on the first day of Vikram Vedha was around 10 crores at the box office, which is less than the opening collection of Laal Singh Chaddha, Bachchan Pandey and Samrat Prithviraj.
Earned so many crores on the second day
Vikram Vedha was released on 4000 screens. In such a situation, it may take some time for the film to make an edge in earnings. Talking about the second day of the film i.e. October 1, Vikram Vedha’s collection did not see any significant increase. According to the Box Office of India report, Vikram Vedha’s earnings increased by 25% on the second day and with this the film’s net collection was between 12.50 to 12.75 crores. In this way the total collection of the film has gone up to 22.75 crores. The net collection for two days of Vikram Vedha in India is as follows,
Day 1 – Rs. 10 cr
Day 2 – Rs. 12.75 cr
Total Earning – Rs. 22.75 cr
South dominates Bollywood once again
Aishwarya Rai starrer film Ponniyin Selvan-1 (PS-1) has also been released with Vikram Vedha, which is directed by famous Tamil director Mani Ratnam. The film made a slow start in the Hindi belt, but broke many records in the South on the first day itself and made a stupendous collection of Rs 78 crores worldwide. Along with this, PS-1 based on the historical drama can also enter the 100 crore club soon.
Speed may increase in the weekend
With Sunday being the weekend and Gandhi Jayanti, if the film does a good collection, then Vikram Vedha can be expected, otherwise the film may have to struggle to become a hit.
