Indian 2 : The Vigilante Thriller Maintains Steady Momentum Amid Mixed Reviews
Kamal Haasan‘s much-anticipated film “Indian 2” has managed to sustain a solid performance at the box office, crossing the ₹68 crore mark in India within its first six days. Directed by Shankar, this sequel to the 1996 classic “Indian” continues to draw audiences despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
Opening Weekend Performance
Film had a strong opening, raking in ₹26 crore on its first day. The film saw a slight dip on the second day, collecting ₹16 crore, but continued to perform well over the weekend. By the end of the first three days, the film had earned over ₹50 crore domestically, showing a significant pull among Tamil and Telugu audiences.
Day 6 Collections
On the sixth day, Movie added an estimated ₹8 crore to its total, bringing the domestic earnings to over ₹68 crore. The film’s stronghold remains in the Tamil Nadu region, while its performance in other parts of India, particularly in the Hindi belt, has been moderate but steady. The consistency in daily earnings suggests a positive word-of-mouth effect despite the initial mixed reviews.
Competition and Challenges
“Indian 2” faced competition from other releases, including Akshay Kumar‘s “Sarfira,” which failed to make a significant impact. This gave “Indian 2” a relatively clear path to dominate the box office. However, the film’s earnings have been challenged by the release of other regional blockbusters, which have slightly affected its overall box office performance.
Future Prospects
With no major releases scheduled for the coming week, “Indian 2” is expected to maintain its momentum and potentially cross the ₹100 crore mark in the coming days. The film’s success is attributed to Kamal Haasan‘s enduring popularity and the nostalgic value of the “Indian” franchise, coupled with Shankar’s grandiose direction.
