Mohit Suri's film Saiyaara, one of the biggest hits of this year, minted Rs 2 crore on third Wednesday since its release (July 18). The number is higher than Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 which minted Rs 1.65 crore at the domestic box office on its 6th day of release.
What's Happening
Blame it on strategy or a sheer stroke of luck, Saiyaara smashed the box office records one after another.
After twenty days of its release, the film minted Rs 2 crore on third Wednesday, taking the total to Rs 306.60 crore, as per Sacnilk .
Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 changed its release date to avoid the wave. The film got released on July 25 and it minted Rs 1.65 crore at the domestic box office on its sixth day of release.
Saiyaara emerged as the second-highest grossing film of the year after Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava.
The film also set the record of being one of the highest-grossing opening weekends of the year.
At the global box office, it has already crossed the Rs 450 crore mark.
Except Mahavtar Narsimha, neither Dharma Productions' Dhadak 2 nor Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 seem to pose a threat to Saiyaara's box office numbers.
