The dream run for
Rajkummar Rao
starrer ‘Srikanth’ continues, as it enters its third week and faces competition from new films like
Manoj Bajpayee
’s ‘
Bhaiyya Ji
’ and international franchise ‘
Furiosa
: A Mad Max Saga’. Between them, Rajkummar’s ‘Srikanth’ which is a biopic based on the life of visually impaired MIT graduate businessman
Srikanth
Bolla, has managed to stay strong and stamp its authority at the box office.
While Manoj’s film earned only Rs 5 crore over three days, ‘Furiosa’ which released on Thursday and had an extended weekend, was able to mint Rs 9.52 crore, making ‘Srikanth’ the second in the list of top earners this weekend with Rs 5.6 crore.
The film over its first week, had minted Rs 31.45 crore, on its third Friday the film earned Rs 1.15 crore, and on Saturday, it jumped by more than 80 % to collect Rs 2.1 crore. On Sunday, it jumped higher by 11 % to collect Rs 2.35 crore as per early estimates by Sacnilk, thus taking the weekend total to Rs 5.6 crore and the overall collection of the film to Rs 37.11 crore. Now, the movie has strong chances of crossing Rs 40 crore this week.
Also next week onwards, the battle at box office gets even more interesting for Rajkummar, as on one side will be ‘Srikanth’ and on the other side will be ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ opposite
Janhvi Kapoor
and backed by
Karan Johar
. This will be the first time when two
Rajkummar
films will be running simultaneously at the box office.
