Singham Returns scores big at BO
MUMBAI: Singham Returns made the most of its release on the Independence Day holiday on 15 August. The film touched Rs 30 crore mark on day one, a first for an Ajay Devgn film. However, the reports were not complimentary in keeping with the content and the film dropped by over 30 per cent on Saturday, while Sunday saw a small rise.
The film has collected about Rs 72 crore for its first weekend. The film was expected to touch a 100 crore mark at the end of day four, also a holiday due to GokulAshtami. But, it may fall short of that target.
Entertainment succumbs to its mediocre and juvenile jokes at the box office. The film, despite a solo release, collected almost Rs 31 crore for the opening weekend, just managed to add another Rs 19 crore for the next four days to take its one week tally to Rs 49.8 crore.
Kick collects Rs 10.4 crore in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 223.9 crore.
Hate Story 2 collects Rs 11 lakh in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 35.91 crore.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania has added Rs 15 lakh in its fifth week to take its five weeks tally to Rs 76.55 crore.

The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.

&TV Business Head of hindi Zee5 and chief channel officer Kaveri Das said, “Our collaboration with Applause Entertainment has consistently delivered distinct, high-impact storytelling. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a natural progression, reinforcing our focus on genre-led content with a compelling whodunnit premise and a strong ensemble cast.”
Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
