New Delhi | INVC Entertainment Desk — The Monday blues hit the Indian box office hard as all major releases witnessed a drop in collections. While Sunny Deol’s ‘Jaat’ remained steady despite a dip, Ajith Kumar’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’ raced into the ₹100 crore club in just five days. Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ continued its downward trend with collections nearly drying up in its third week.
🎬 ‘Jaat’ Holds Strong Despite Dip
Sunny Deol’s rural action drama ‘Jaat’ saw a 46.43% drop from its Sunday numbers, earning ₹7.5 crore on Monday. Despite the fall, the film’s total collection stands at ₹47.75 crore, showing strong legs post-weekend.
With Sunny’s trademark desi action and an emotionally charged storyline, the film is pulling crowds, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns.
💥 ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Crosses ₹100 Crore Mark in 5 Days
Ajith Kumar’s pan-India action thriller ‘Good Bad Ugly’ is unstoppable at the box office. The film minted ₹15 crore on its fifth day, pushing its total to ₹101.3 crore.
Backed by a high-octane plot and Ajith’s star power, the film’s crossover appeal is working in metros and mass circuits alike.
📉 ‘Sikandar’ Losing Steam Fast
Salman Khan’s mega-budget film ‘Sikandar’ is now on the decline. On its 16th day, it earned just ₹26 lakh, taking the total to ₹109.36 crore. With the film’s budget reportedly higher than its current earnings, recovery now looks like a steep uphill climb.
Despite a thunderous start, the film’s weak script and word-of-mouth seem to have impacted its box office run severely.
