Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 2 has recorded one of the best advance sales of tickets for any Hindi film this year, and the same has been reflected clearly in the film’s opening day box office collections. It has broken the opening day record of this year’s one of the blockbusters, Bhool Bhulaiyya 2 which earned Rs 14.11 crore on the day of its release. The film has earned Rs 15.38 crore on Friday.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared on Twitter, “#Drishyam2 REJUVENATES the industry that was going through a turbulent phase after a string of failures… Takes a FLYING START on Day 1 SECOND-BIGGEST START of 2022 [outright #Hindi films] ₹ 50 CR+ weekend on the cards Fri ₹ 15.38 CR. #India biz.”
The number is remarkably better than many films starring Top Bollywood Stars like Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar. While Aamir’s Laal Singh Chaddha earned Rs 11.70 crore on its opening day, Akshay Kumar collected Rs 10.70 crore on Day 1.
Drishyam 2 is having a stronghold in the multiplex chains like PVR, INOX and Cinepolis where the film has collectively earned Rs 7.40 crore, reported by Bollywood Trade Circles. Drishyam 2 becomes one of the rare good openers this year for Bollywood apart from Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra which did a business of Rs 36 crore on the day of its release. Bhool Bhulaiya-2 and Ramsetu also had good opening day numbers.
After a very dull phase of the Bollywood, Drishyam 2 opening with 15Cr+ net on day1 is a welcoming sign for the industry. Going by the trends, even for day2 and day3, the thriller is getting excellent advance bookings.
Bollywood is literally waiting for this kind of opening and Blockbuster success at the box office as only Brahmastra is the only biggie which has performed at the box office this year, the film was a huge budget and Pan Indian movie, promotions were done for this movie very aggressively.
But a film like Drishyam 2 scoring big proves once again that the right content will bring the audience to theaters. Also, the film being a sequel has helped it garner the attention of the audience.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the sequel to 2015 film by the same name features Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles with Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav and Rajat Kapoor in supporting roles.
