Wednesday Box Office Report – 16 April: ‘Jaat’ Maintains Lead, ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Surpasses ‘Sikandar’
INVC Entertainment Desk,
The battle at the box office continues as major releases from Bollywood and South Indian cinema vie for audience attention. On Wednesday, April 16, Jaat continued to dominate, while Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly outperformed Salman Khan’s Sikandar in terms of box office earnings. Let’s take a closer look at how these films fared on the seventh day of their respective releases.
Sunny Deol’s Jaat Remains Strong at the Box Office
Released on April 10, Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, has managed to captivate audiences across the country. The film opened with a strong ₹9.5 crore on its first day and went on to earn ₹14 crore on Sunday, showing its potential to become a major hit. However, like most films, it saw a drop in earnings by Wednesday, bringing in ₹3.81 crore.
Despite the dip, Jaat’s total earnings stand at an impressive ₹57.31 crore, which is a solid figure for a film that blends action and drama with Sunny Deol’s signature style. With a production budget of ₹100 crore, the film is expected to continue gaining momentum over the weekend, especially considering its strong appeal among both Hindi and South audiences.
Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly Continues Its Box Office Success
Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly also debuted on April 10 and had an exceptional opening, raking in ₹29.25 crore on its first day. The film has maintained its hold at the box office and continues to attract moviegoers. On Wednesday, it earned ₹5 crore, bringing its total box office collection to ₹113.3 crore.
The film has been a major success, thanks to Ajith’s strong performance and the gripping action-packed storyline. Good Bad Ugly is currently performing exceptionally well, and industry experts believe it will maintain its momentum in the coming days.
Salman Khan’s Sikandar Struggles to Impress Audiences
Salman Khan’s Sikandar, which was released during Eid this year, has faced a disappointing run at the box office. Despite high expectations from the fans, the film failed to live up to the hype. On Wednesday, Sikandar earned just ₹14 lakh, marking its 18th day at the box office.
So far, Sikandar has collected ₹109.74 crore, but this figure is far below the expectations set for an Eid release, especially one headlined by Salman Khan. While the film’s total earnings aren’t bad, the response from audiences has been lukewarm, indicating that it hasn’t managed to capture the attention of the masses as expected.
What’s Next for These Films?
With the weekend approaching, all three films are likely to experience a boost in collections. Jaat and Good Bad Ugly are expected to continue their strong runs, while Sikandar seems to be facing an uphill battle. However, given Salman Khan’s immense fan following, there is still a possibility that the film could see some recovery over the next few days.
As we move into the second week of these releases, it will be interesting to see whether Jaat and Good Bad Ugly can maintain their momentum and which film ultimately emerges as the winner at the box office.
