Continuing to stay steady on its second day, the film saw a slight uptick in collections on its third day of running. This report examines the opening weekend box office numbers of Ek Villain Returns, as well as its comparative standing to Arjun Kapoor’s prior releases.

After gathering a massive sum of Rs. 23.54 crores in its initial weekend, Ek Villain Returns has collected between Rs. 2.90 to Rs 3.10 crore on Monday. With this, the four-day overall figure of this John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor starrer is approximately Rs. 26.50 crores. The film witnessed a drastic drop of nearly 55 percent in comparison to the opening day figures. On Monday, Ek Villain Returns hit the multiplexes and garnered impressive numbers from mass belts. At this rate, it’s likely that the movie will secure around Rs. 35 crores in its first week and potentially make its…
Directed by Mohit Suri, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2014 release Ek Villain, Ek Villain Returns, released on Friday of last week. Starring Arjun Kapoor, John Abraham, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria, the film had a strong start, grossing Rs. 7.05 crore on its opening day. On the second and third day, the movie showed a consistent growth in collections with Rs. 7.47 cr, and Rs. 9.02 cr respectively. Unfortunately, on its first Monday, the film saw a significant drop of almost 66% in its fourth-day collections compared to its third-day collections. In this box office report, we look…
Monday’s earnings of Rs. 3.02 crores for Ek Villain Returns were certainly satisfactory, however the decline from Friday’s Rs. 7.05 crores was greater than 40%, meaning that from this point forward until Thursday, there can be no further decline. Had the collections stayed close to Rs. 4 crores, there would have been room for the usual 10% decrease per day, allowing for an impressive overall total during its first week. Now, it must maintain its current level of revenue all the way through. It will be a challenging feat, for the Friday to Saturday jump was barely visible, and even…
Ek Villain Returns is maintaining its position in the weekdays, evidenced by Wednesday’s Rs. 2.10 crore in collections. Although there has been a decrease in numbers since Monday, figures have stayed above the Rs. 3 crore mark, something which would have immensely benefited the movie’s case. The saving grace is that collections have not dropped to a level where recovery seems impossible, which has been the fate of so many recent films, resulting in a figure of one crore or below in the weekdays. In the case of this movie directed by Mohit Suri, the collections were merely satisfactory, however…
Ek Villain Returns has managed to secure a lifetime collection of more than Rs. 40 crores in its first week alone, with Rs. 32.92 crores as the closing amount. This number could have been even more impressive if it had crossed Rs. 35 crores in its opening week as it would have put the film in contention to achieve the coveted Rs. 50 crores benchmark. However, the diminishing response in the weekdays have significantly hindered its progress. Although the movie has not performed particularly well, compared to other films with a similar budget, scale, and cast, Ek Villain Returns has…
John Abraham’s two-decade-long career has seen Ek Villain Returns become the 12th biggest success for him in its opening week. The movie was amongst his top ten first-day and opening weekend hits. Nevertheless, its collections failed to remain as steady during the weekdays and, consequently, were overtaken by Parmanu – The Story of Pokharan, Madras Cafe, and Romeo Akbar Walter. Incidentally, all three films in the list are John Abraham solo starrers. But what is really striking is the fact that five of these films are franchises, where he appears as a new character in the second installment. These films…
Following its debut in cinemas, it seemed as though it would be a challenge for Ek Villain Returns to make it past Rs. 45 crores. Fortunately, due to steady figures throughout the second weekend, director Mohit Suri has created a chance for the suspense-thriller to reach the Rs. 45 crore mark. With the box office figures surpassing the Rs. 9 crore mark on the opening Sunday, if the box office retention had been a bit higher, the film could very well have made it to the Rs. 50 crore mark. Even so, there was some reprieve, as the movie failed…
Aamir Khan’s highly anticipated return has stirred a fervent excitement in the industry with the opening of ticket sales for Laal Singh Chaddha on Friday. Despite the grand hype, the response so far has been only average, as the film has managed to acquire approximately 30,000 tickets across India and amass a total collection of Rs. 75 lakhs as of now. With just 48 hours to go, it is expected that Laal Singh Chaddha will rake in a whopping Rs. 5 crore advance across India on the first day alone. Over the weekend, advance booking numbers are expected to hit…
Akshay Kumar is returning to the silver screen with the Aanand L Rai-directed Raksha Bandhan. On Friday, the advance ticket sales for this family drama kicked off, with the movie having sold a whopping 18,000 tickets all over India and generating an opening day advance of approximately Rs. 35 lakhs. Out of 18,000 tickets, nearly 9,000 have been bought from three of the major theatre chains in India, namely PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. The remaining 50 percent were purchased from non-national chains. Due to its title – Raksha Bandhan – it is anticipated that the movie will be the preferred…
