There’s no stopping James Cameron’s sci-fi thriller Avatar: The Way of Water in India. The film, despite being in its third week, is witnessing footfall in the cinema halls. The film is breaking records every day, and if it continues to grow at its current pace, it will soon replace Avengers: Endgame as the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India. Not just this, it is inching closer towards the lifetime collection of Bollywood’s highest-grosser in the country, Dangal.
Avatar 2 entered its third week with a double-digit figure as it approximately earned Rs 30 crore over the weekend. It stood well on the first working day of the year as it collected Rs 5.50 crore on Monday. Tuesday added up Rs 5 crore to its total collection, which now stands at Rs 336.50 crore, as per a Koimoi report. This brings the film closer to the collection of Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers Endgame in India. The film earned Rs 373.22 cr upon its release in 2019. Worldwide, Cameron has managed to rake up $1.44 billion.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh had shared that Ved is ‘unstoppable’ at the box office. Sharing its collection until Monday, he wrote on Twitter, “#Marathi film #Ved is UNSTOPPABLE… Passes the make-or-break Monday test with flying colours… Day 4 [Mon] is HIGHER than Day 1 [Fri], which is a rarity… EXCELLENT TRENDING… Fri 2.25 cr, Sat 3.25 cr, Sun 4.50 cr, Mon 3.02 cr. Total: ₹ 13.02 cr.”
Ved marks the directorial debut of Riteish. It is inspired by the 2019 Telugu film Majili starring Naga Chaitanya and his then-wife Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Its songs, composed by Ajay-Atul, are currently topping the music charts.
