Sooryavanshi, a film which had been directed by none other than Rohit Shetty and starred Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, made its grand debut last week. And the people loved it! Positive critical reviews only fueled this fire even more. Opening on a high note, business has grown exponentially over the course of just three days because of excellent ticket sales.
In this new box office special report, we compare how well Sooryavanshi did in its opening weekend to other movies starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. With a total of Rs. 77.08 crores collected on the opening weekend – so far it is already being hailed as the biggest opener for both actors – beating out past releases like Tees Maar Khan which only managed to gross Rs. 38.25 crores, Singh Is King with only Rs. 25.53 crores, De Dana Dan with only Rs. 21.37 crores, Blue collecting just Rs 18 crores and Welcome which barely scraped together Rs 16 crores before fizzling out after two weeks from release date; it has firmly established itself as one of their most successful collaborations yet!
Intriguingly, Sooryavanshi that was released across 3,000+ screens has continued to keep audiences captivated and is running smoothly. With such an extravagant reception from the public at large, it seems as if this film will only gain in popularity this week.
