120 Bahadur vs Mastiii 4 box office collection day 4: Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani’s comedy takes over Farhan Akhtar’s military drama on first Monday

On Saturday (day 2), while 120 Bahadur earned Rs 3.85 crore, Mastiii 4 minted Rs 2.75 crore, equal to its opening day earnings on Friday. On that day, 120 Bahadur opened at Rs 2.25 crore. Thus, Farhan’s movie enjoyed an edge over Mastiii 4 throughout the opening weekend, but Monday tells a different story, as per Sacnilk.

Even after this surprising turn of events, 120 Bahadur is still ahead of Mastiii 4 in terms of its domestic box office collection so far. The former has collected Rs 11.50 crore after four days, whereas the latter has managed to finally hit double digits and earn Rs 10 crore, aided by its Monday earnings.

Both films have now surpassed the lifetime domestic earnings of India’s official Oscars entry, Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, which earned Rs 4.58 crore earlier this year. They’ve also surpassed Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar’s action thriller Ground Zero, starring Emraan Hashmi, which was also produced by Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani’s banner Excel Entertainment earlier this year, and earned Rs 7.77 crore at the domestic box office.

Both 120 Bahadur and Mastiii 4 have their next targets in sight — Mudassar Aziz’s romantic comedy Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh, which earned Rs 12.25 crore, followed by Girish Kohli’s thriller Crazxy, starring Sohum Shah, which garnered Rs 14.03 crore at the domestic box office.

They have three more days to compete with only each other, before new contenders enter the market this Friday. These include Aanand L Rai’s intense romance Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, and Vibhu Puri’s lighthearted romance Gustaakh Ishq, starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, which marks the debut of ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra as a producer.
