​Box Office: Singham Returns Manages A Smashing Weekend

It has been another good weekend for the distributors as Singham Returns managed to pack in a good opening at the box office.

As per Koimoi.com, Singham Returns has netted Rs 32 crore on Friday, Rs 20-21 crore on Saturday and approximately Rs 26-27 crore on Sunday. The business of the movie has been exceptionally good on Friday (August 15) which was a national holiday. Singham Returns has been made with a budget of Rs 115 crore. It is expected that even on Monday, the movie will continue to garner good collections as a lot of offices are closed on the account of Janamashtmi.

Singham Returns is a sequel to the 2011’s hit movie Singham. Just like the predecessor, it stars Ajay Devgan and is directed by Rohit Shetty. Apart from this, the movie also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan. The trio had earlier worked in Golmaal 3. The movie is being produced by Reliance Entertainment.

At this stage, it looks like Singham Returns might prove to be Ajay Devgan’s fastest run up to Rs 100 crore-club. The buzz for the next week release Mardaani starring Rani Mukherjee is not very high, so there is a possibility that Singham Returns will continue to shine at the box office even in the coming week. We hope that the lifetime collections for Singham Returns including Cable and Satellite rights should be in the range of Rs 250 to 300 crore.

On the other hand, Salman Khan starrer Kick has so far managed to clock in Rs 374.50 crore (gross collection in domestic and international market) and has earned the title of fourth highest Bollywood worldwide grosser after Dhoom 3, Chennai Express and 3 Idiots.
