Despite largely receiving negative reviews, Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 had a decent opening at the box office. However, the film has seen a decline in its collections since the opening and failed to capitalise on its first weekend. According to Sacnilk, it earned Rs 15.1 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 58.9 crore.
The breakdown is as follows: Rs 41.2 crore from the Tamil version, Rs 13.9 crore from the Telugu version, and Rs 3.8 crore from the Hindi version. While the Hindi version has remained steady, the Tamil version has experienced a continuous drop in collections since its release. The film began its box office journey with a strong opening, raking in Rs 25.6 crore. However, it saw a 28.91% decrease in collections on Saturday, earning Rs 18.2 crore, and a further 17.03% decrease on Sunday.
Indian 2 is the sequel to the 1996 film Indian, directed by Shankar. Kamal Haasan reprises his role as Senapathy. The film clashed at the box office with Sudha Kongara’s Sarfira, a remake of her National Award-winning Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead role. Despite positive reviews, Sarfira has had a tougher time at the box office. It opened with only Rs 2.5 crore but has seen an increase in collections, earning Rs 11.85 crore within three days of its release.
Kamal Haasan’s other film, Kalki 2898 AD, which dominated the box office during its first week, is now slowing down. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, it earned Rs 16.25 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 579.97 crore.
