‘Shaitan’, based on black magic and Vashikaran, has emerged as a HIT in the first four days of its release. Yes, while in its first weekend the film had made a net collection of Rs 54 crore at the Indian box office, now in just four days the film has started earning profits beyond its cost. However, First Monday Test figures show that there has been a loss of more than -50% in its earnings on Monday as compared to the opening day. But it would be wrong to say that the film has failed in the litmus test of the first Monday. This is because when the film was released on March 8, it was a partial holiday for Mahashivratri. According to the report of sacnilk, Ajay Devgan, R. Madhavan starrer ‘Shaitan’ has collected a net of Rs 7.00 crore on the fourth day on Monday. The film had earned Rs 14.75 crore on the opening day. Generally, the earnings of any strong film fall by 30-40% on the first Monday. At first glance it seems that there is a decline of more than -50% in the earnings of ‘Shaitan’, which means the film has flopped on Monday. But it is not so, because the film was released on the day of Mahashivratri. Therefore it got the benefit of partial leave. That is, if the film had released on a normal day, there would have been a decline of 30-35% in the earnings as per Monday’s earnings. That means ‘Shaitan’ is still in a strong position at the box office.
‘Shaitan’, made with a budget of Rs 60 crore, earned Rs 61 crore.
‘Shaitan’ has collected a net collection of Rs 61 crore at the domestic box office in the first four days. Made under the direction of Vikas Bahl, the budget of this film is Rs 60 crore. That means, within four days the film has recovered its cost and has also earned a profit of Rs 1 crore. At present there is no big film in theaters for the next three days. Before the release of ‘Yoddha’ and ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’ on Friday, ‘Shaitan’ has full opportunity to earn money openly. It is estimated that the film will earn around Rs 75-80 crore in its first week by Thursday.
Shaitan Public Review: Public liked Ajay Devgan and Madhavan’s Shaitan, as soon as they came out of the theater they said – enjoyed
Due to Ramadan, films will face losses till Eid
However, Ramzan has also started from Tuesday. In such a situation, a large audience will not reach theaters till Eid. This will impact ‘Shaitan’ as well as the films to be released in future. However, the hope is that gradually, this film starring Ajay Devgan, Madhavan, Jyotika, Janaki Bodiwala will earn more than Rs 100 crore. If this happens, ‘Shaitan’ will become the first Bollywood superhit film of the year 2024. This will also be a new record in the supernatural horror-thriller genre, because till now no horror film has earned like this.
