The previous instalment of the Baaghi franchise made double the amount in the same time. Baaghi 3 had amassed Rs 90 crore at the end of the first week. The film’s theatrical run was cut short due to the pandemic, and one could see the effect of the dwindling footfall several days before it got shut down. Still, the film managed to collect Rs 96.5 crore during its prematurely concluded run. Baaghi 4 is not only competing with its own predecessors, but it is also trying to hold its own among a flurry of pictures currently running at the theatres. Despite mixed reviews, The Conjuring: Last Rites (Rs 67.19 cr) is still going strong, and the Sidharth Malhotra-Janhvi Kapoor starrer (Rs 48.8 cr) is taking whatever is left.

The occupancy rates for the film remained low throughout the day and averaged out at 9%. The morning and afternoon shows filled 5.51% and 9.42% of seats, while the evening and night shows barely broke into double digits with 8.79% and 12.28% rates. With its theatrical run being facilitated by tactics like BOGO, Baaghi 4 needs to bounce back this weekend.

This week, the movie will be overrun by the Japanese anime blockbuster Demon Slayer, which has already made Rs 10 crore in advance sales. Directed by A Harsha, the cast of the film includes Tiger Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa, Harnaaz Sandhu, Shreyas Talpade, Saurabh Sachdeva and Upendra Limaye.
