The Akshay Kumar-starring Sooryavanshi that was released last week continues to do steady business at the box office. Opening with a blockbuster bang and continuing to grow through both Saturday and Sunday, it even managed to surpass other films in revenue for its opening weekend; collecting an impressive Rs.77.08 crore in just three days. With numbers like these – it seems safe to say that Bollywood has finally found its way back after being out of commission during the second lockdown because this is easily one of the biggest opening weekends we’ve seen all year.
Indeed, what may seem ordinary on paper became extraordinary thanks only because one film outshined another – taking up 3306 screens total when no other India movie so far could achieve such numbers across multiplexes and single screen theaters alike – guaranteeing business for weeks and months to come with promises for repeat viewers are rolling in left right now!
Currently, Sooryavanshi continues to do well with people flocking to cinemas like they used to back when Covid-19 was still in effect. As more and more states begin easing restrictions on how many people are allowed into movie theaters (Covid-19), due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews – this film is expected to continue doing well! For example, trade predictions say that the success of this particular film will likely cross over 100 crore within the next day or so.
