Singham Again box office Day 1: Ajay Devgn film opens at Rs 43 crore

Rohit Shetty had the perfect Diwali gift for fans – the next film of his cop universe, carrying forward the story of Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham with Singham Again. As expected from a festive release, he brought larger-than-life characters on-screen, bringing several actors together in a single frame. The result was fireworks, in the box office too, as the film saw great opening day collection.
Singham Again opened to a whopping Rs 43.50 crore on Day 1, according to early estimates. With that, Ajay Devgn gets the biggest opener of his career. Earlier, his best opening day number was from Singham Returns, which earned Rs 32.09 crore in 2014. This also marks Rohit Shetty’s biggest opener. However, it could not beat Stree 2’s first day collection to become the biggest opener of 2024.

Singham Again clashed with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at the box office and as predicted, both the films did well and made audiences step into the theatre. Though Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is lagging behind at Rs 35.50 crore, it still performed remarkably well at the box office, given recent films have not fared this well. However, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had more occupancy at 75.30 percent, compared to 65.35 percent for Singham Again.
Fans are now looking forward to the next film of the cop universe – Mission Chulbul Singham. It is expected to be bigger, with Rohit Shetty merging with Dabangg franchise and Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey joining this universe.
India Today Digital gave the film 3.5 stars. Our review of the film read, “Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn’s mutual love and trust make Singham a successful franchise. No one can play Singham apart from Ajay, and no other role can present him in such a heroic way. The actor can only make it convincing to defeat invincible villains by just slaps. But that’s also a flaw, given the fight during the climax between him and Arjun ends up slightly thanda.”
Singham Again also features Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff and Deepika Padukone, with cameos by Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh.
