Singham Again Faces Decline in Second Week: Ajay Devgn’s Action Film Earns ₹3.50 Crore on Day 12

Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, the highly anticipated third installment in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe, has experienced a steady box office performance in its second week. Despite a strong opening and a festive boost, the film has seen a decline in its earnings, as expected with most big releases during their second week. After surpassing the ₹200 crore mark in its opening weekend, Singham Again is now expected to collect approximately ₹3.50 crore nett on Day 12, bringing its cumulative total to ₹214.50 crore.

Decline in Second Week: The Expected Dip

The film’s performance has seen a slight dip in the second week, which is typical for a high-octane action film like Singham Again. On its second Monday, it managed to rake in ₹4.25 crore, maintaining a solid pace despite the inevitable decline. This decline can be attributed to several factors, including the post-festival lull and the natural drop in interest as the initial buzz settles down.

The film performed particularly well in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where it benefitted from high viewership during the Diwali festival. This festive surge played a crucial role in its opening days, but with the celebrations now behind, collections have started to dip, though they remain consistent enough to keep Singham Again in a competitive position.

Box Office Projections and Expectations

According to estimates, Singham Again will earn another ₹3.50 crore on Tuesday, which should take its 12-day total to ₹214.5 crore. The film has earned ₹41.50 crore nett in its second week so far, and it is projected to finish this week with a total of approximately ₹48 crore. This marks a significant drop of around 70% from its opening week, which was expected for a high-budget action film like this, especially given its genre and the typical box office trend for such movies.

Despite the drop, the film’s performance has exceeded expectations for a second-week decline, particularly considering that it faced direct competition from other major releases.

Impact of Fresh Competition in the Third Week

Looking ahead, Singham Again will face fresh competition in the third week, which could further impact its box office performance. The film is currently trailing slightly behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, with a ₹6 crore lead, but this gap is narrowing each day. As more films enter the fray, the chances of Singham Again reaching the ₹250 crore mark—an important milestone for any Bollywood film—seem slimmer, though it is still possible depending on how it performs in the coming days.

The movie’s longevity at the box office will largely depend on how it competes with other Diwali releases and how audience interest holds up. If it can maintain a steady run in the weeks to come, it still has the potential to end its theatrical run with a significant total, but that will depend on how it fares against newer films.

The Success of Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe

Singham Again continues to benefit from the star power of Ajay Devgn and the star-studded ensemble cast, which includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff, among others. The film is the fifth installment in Shetty’s ambitious cop universe, which has been a massive hit with audiences. The combination of Shetty’s signature action-packed style and Devgn’s charismatic portrayal of the tough cop Bajirao Singham has kept the film’s audience engaged, even as the box office numbers show a slight decline.

Conclusion: Will Singham Again Surpass Expectations?

While the second-week decline is not unexpected, Singham Again continues to perform well compared to other films in the same genre. With a ₹200 crore-plus total already in the bag, it has cemented its place as a successful Diwali release. The real question now is whether it can sustain its momentum in the face of stiff competition in the coming weeks, or if it will see its earnings plateau as other big films enter the market.

With Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 not far behind and other new releases looming, Singham Again‘s final box office tally will depend on how well it can hold its ground in the increasingly crowded marketplace. For now, it remains one of the top contenders in the post-Diwali box office race.
