In its second week, *Singham Again*, directed by Rohit Shetty, is experiencing a noticeable drop in its box office performance. After an alarming decline of more than 68% on its second Monday, the film saw an even further dip on Tuesday, November 12. According to the industry tracker Sacnilk, *Singham Again* earned just Rs 3.50 crore on Tuesday, bringing its total domestic nett collection to Rs 214.50 crore. The film recorded a 13.06% Hindi occupancy, with the highest audience turnout during the night shows, which suggests a loyal fan base attending evening screenings, though the overall demand appears to be waning.
While *Singham Again* struggles in its second week, *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*, which also released on the same day, has managed to outshine it slightly in terms of box office performance. The horror-comedy, which has garnered much attention for its entertaining premise, earned Rs 4.25 crore on its second Tuesday. This brings the film’s total earnings to Rs 208.25 crore, indicating a steadier box office draw compared to *Singham Again*, despite the initial slow start. *Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3*’s ability to maintain a more consistent audience turnout suggests it has been tapping into a broader demographic, keeping its momentum up.
Despite these fluctuations, *Singham Again* has still performed well enough globally, crossing the Rs 300 crore mark in worldwide collections. Domestically, the film earned Rs 186.60 crore in its opening week, followed by Rs 38.70 crore in its second week. While the domestic earnings have slowed, the film’s international success has kept it afloat, and it is still a major box office draw. *Singham Again* continues to dominate international markets, and its global reach is a testament to the enduring appeal of its lead actor, Ajay Devgn, and the mass entertainment provided by the film's action-packed sequences.
In the coming weeks, *Singham Again* will face little competition on the Bollywood front. The most significant release will be *The Sabarmati Report*, a film slated for release on November 15, which is expected to appeal to a niche audience and is not anticipated to pose a serious threat to the mass appeal of *Singham Again*. This gives *Singham Again* a window to maintain steady earnings despite the dip, as fewer big-budget Bollywood films will be released in the immediate future.
For Ajay Devgn, *Singham Again* marks his fourth film to surpass the Rs 300 crore mark, joining the ranks of his previous blockbusters *Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior* (Rs 361 crore), *Drishyam 2* (Rs 342.31 crore), and *Golmaal Again* (Rs 308.62 crore). These films, with their larger-than-life appeal and strong narratives, have cemented Devgn’s status as a consistent box-office powerhouse in Bollywood. However, for *Singham Again* to close its theatrical run with strong numbers, the film will need to sustain a steady performance in the domestic market during weekdays and keep its international audience engaged.
The film’s ensemble cast adds to its appeal, with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Shweta Tiwari sharing the screen alongside Ajay Devgn. The film also features a cameo appearance by Salman Khan as Chulbul Pandey from the *Dabangg* series, a move that excited fans and generated additional buzz for the film. This star-studded cast, paired with Shetty’s trademark high-octane direction, continues to draw audiences despite the mid-week box office dip.Â
In conclusion, while *Singham Again* is facing challenges in its second week, its strong global performance, the star power of its cast, and its vast fan base will likely help it continue to perform well. It remains a significant box office success and, with minimal competition in the near future, has a chance to finish its run on a high note, even if its domestic earnings continue to slow.
