Kamal Haasan’s much-anticipated sequel, Indian 2, witnessed a significant drop in box office collections on its fourth day. The film, which opened with strong numbers, saw a dramatic decline by Monday, indicating the star-studded project failed the Monday test.
Indian 2 box office collection day 4: How much did Kamal Haasan’s movie earn?
Indian 2 had a strong start, earning $3 million on its opening day. The momentum continued with $2.1 million on Saturday and $1.8 million on Sunday. However, the movie saw a steep fall of 80.46% in collections on Monday, earning only $358 thousand across India. This sharp decline points to poor word-of-mouth and mixed reviews affecting its performance.
The drastic drop in collections suggests poor word-of-mouth despite the film’s star power and scale. Negative reviews have played a crucial role in the film’s underperformance. In response to the feedback, the makers trimmed 20 minutes from the film’s runtime, but it seems this effort came too late to reverse the negative momentum.
So far, Indian 2 has garnered $7.4 million. The bulk of this collection comes from the Tamil market, with the Telugu version, released as Bharateeyudu 2, contributing a smaller share. The Hindi version, Hindustani 2, has struggled significantly, failing to surpass the $119 thousand mark throughout the weekend. As of now, the language-wise distribution of Monday’s collection hasn’t been detailed, but the downward trend suggests a continued decline throughout the week.
All in all, despite the initial hype and a star-studded cast, including Siddharth, SJ Suryah, and Rakul Preet Singh, the future of Indian 2 looks uncertain. The film’s drastic drop in collections raises questions about its longevity at the box office. However, fans of the franchise remain hopeful for the announced third installment, expected to be released next year.
