Ranveer Singh's film, Dhurandhar, continued to dominate the box office on Monday, collecting ₹16 crore. Meanwhile, the Hollywood film Avatar: Fire & Ash and South Indian films like Akhanda 2 are performing weakly. Intense competition continues between Hindi and South Indian films at the box office.
Monday Box Office: Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, once again held its ground at the box office on Monday. On its third Monday, or the 18th day, the film earned ₹16 crore, bringing its total earnings to ₹571.75 crore over 18 days. In comparison, James Cameron's Avatar: Fire & Ash earned ₹7.52 crore, the Telugu thriller Akhanda 2 collected ₹65 lakh, and the film Bha Bha Ba earned ₹1.10 crore. This clearly indicates that the Hindi cinema hit is still attracting the most viewers.
Avatar Fire & Ash and Other Films' Performance
James Cameron's animated film, Avatar: Fire & Ash, collected ₹7.52 crore on its fourth day, Monday. Its total earnings over four days have reached ₹74.77 crore, but it lags behind Ranveer Singh's film. Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma's Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karu 2 collected only ₹14 lakh on its second Monday and has earned a total of ₹12.02 crore so far.
Performance of South Cinema Films
The Telugu film Akhanda 2: Thandavam collected ₹65 lakh on its second Monday, bringing its total earnings to ₹85.1 crore over 11 days. On the other hand, Bha Bha Ba registered a net collection of ₹1.10 crore on its first Monday, with total collections reaching ₹17.50 crore. These figures clearly show that Hindi and South Indian films are in fierce competition at the box office.
Monday's box office collections have made it clear that Dhurandhar continues to attract the most viewers, while Hollywood and other Indian films are performing relatively weakly against it. Films releasing in the coming weeks could potentially change the box office trend.
