Sooryavanshi is perhaps inching towards becoming the biggest release of 2021. The first major release in Maharashtra after the state government gave the green signal towards theatre viewing of films, post the COVID-19 second wave, all eyes were on the film and how it might revive the box office.
The fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s copverse stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. The film has extended cameos by Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh from his earlier films Singham and Simmba. Needless to say, Sooryavanshi is proving trade experts right by doing brisk business at the box office. But, which are the places which are contributing most businesses to the film?
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to inform that the film continues to stay strong at the box office, with Maharashtra and Gujarat being the key contributors to the film’s business. “#Sooryavanshi continues to STAY STRONG on [second] Fri… #Maharashtra and #Gujarat are key contributors… A double digit [second] Sat and Sun should ensure ₹ 150 cr [+/-] total… [Week 2] Fri 6.83 cr. Total: ₹ 127.49 cr. #India,” tweeted Taran Adarsh.
Recently, the analyst had shared two updates on the film’s box office business wherein he stated that the film has done a total of Rs 112.36 crore at the domestic box office. In a separate tweet, he mentioned that the film has done Rs 34.08 crore overseas.
At that point of time, the cumulative total of the film’s business globally stood at Rs 146 crore at the box office, as per the tweets.
Sooryavanshi was scheduled to hit the screens in March last year, but the nationwide lockdown postponed the film’s release multiple times before it finally released before the Diwali weekend this year.
In fact, thanks to films like Eternals, Annatthe and Eternals, the cumulative box office earnings of films at the Indian box office has crossed the Rs 150 crore mark during the Diwali period.
Rohit Shetty’s fourth film in his copverse was the biggest release in Maharashtra after the state government gave its nod to theatre viewing of films.
