After the back to back disappointments of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Ganapath and Heropanti, Tiger Shroff now has a film which has opened reasonably well at the box office.
Baaghi 3 was his last film which had done well but it released just before the pandemic, so its theatre run was cut short abruptly after nine days, as the lockdown was announced. Before that, War was an all time blockbuster.
War 2 did not feature him and unfortunately is a disaster at the box office.
Baaghi 4 has done better. It opened at Rs 13.29 crore (Rs 132.9 million) and stayed in double digits right through the weekend. As a result, the overall numbers are fair at Rs 38 crore* (Rs 380 million).
The film had The Conjuring: Last Rites for competition, which saw weekend collections of Rs 54 crore* (Rs 540 million).
The Bengal Files opened at Rs 1.25 crore* (Rs 12.5 million), with a weekend collection of Rs 5.25 crore* (Rs 52.5 million).
Uff Yeh Siyapaa hardly had any collections to boast of with a weekend of under Rs 25 lakh after seeing a token release.
*Estimates.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources.
