In the recent weekend box office battle, the supernatural thriller "Shaitaan," featuring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and Joyotika, emerged as the clear winner over the hijack thriller "Yodha," starring Sidharth Malhotra. Despite being in its second week at theatres, "Shaitaan" secured a collection of Rs 23.3 crore nett, surpassing "Yodha," which managed Rs 16.85 crore, as reported by the entertainment data-tracking platform Scnilk.

Strong Opening and Continued Success



"Shaitaan" Triumphs Over Competition
The journey for "Shaitaan" began with a remarkable opening, earning Rs 14.75 crore nett on its debut day, setting a high standard for its competitors. This supernatural saga continued to enchant audiences, with a substantial increase in earnings to Rs 5.75 crore nett on Saturday and a further rise to Rs 7 crore nett on Sunday, culminating in a total three-day collection of Rs 16.85 crore nett, firmly establishing its dominance.

Delayed Release but Steady Performance
In contrast, "Yodha," produced by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, faced challenges with a delayed release, debuting with Rs 4.1 crore nett on its first day, notably lower than other major releases of the year like "Fighter" and "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya." Despite its star-studded cast including Sidharth Malhotra, Raashii Khanna, Disha Patani, Sunny Hinduja, and Ronit Roy, "Yodha" struggled to match the box office magnetism of "Shaitaan."

Milestones and Global Recognition



"Shaitaan" Surpasses Rs 100 Crore Mark
The success story of "Shaitaan" extends beyond domestic boundaries, with a remarkable milestone of Rs 103.05 crore nett in India within its first ten days of release. Internationally, the supernatural thriller has amassed a gross collection of Rs 133 crore, showcasing its global appeal and cementing its position as a blockbuster hit.

Impact on Concurrent Releases
While "Shaitaan" and "Yodha" competed fiercely at the box office, other releases like "Bastar: The Naxal Story," featuring Adah Sharma, made a modest impact with Rs 2.25 crore nett earnings in its initial three days. This highlights the formidable competition in the entertainment landscape, where captivating narratives and star power play pivotal roles in audience engagement and box office success.

In conclusion, "Shaitaan" not only conquered the supernatural genre but also demonstrated its supremacy over competitive releases, solidifying its status as a cinematic triumph embraced by audiences worldwide.
