The Rohit Shetty directed Sooryavanshi movie starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and special appearances by Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn opened last week to much fanfare at the Box Office. Doing well even in Week One, the end-of-week totals for Sooryavanshi amounted up to Rs. 120.66 cr; a strong opening considering many big Hollywood movies did not fare so well this past year.
In this box office report, we take a look at the opening week collections of Sooryavanshi while comparing them to previous Rohit Shetty films. Although it was lower than Chennai Express which had managed to earn Rs. 156.70 crore during its first weekend alone, and even lower than Simmba which earned Rs. 150.81 crore during its release weekend; still, the business for Sooryavanshi manages to just surpass past movies by only earning an estimated rs. 121 crore across its first weekend in theatres- making it one of Raohit’s top four highest-earning opening weekends ever made!
As of now, Sooryavanshi has been seeing success due to its large number of viewers who are coming to see it at theaters. Trade predictions from other industries say that the movie will continue to grow in popularity and is expected to earn even more money than last week.
