Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna starrer “Yodha” has emerged victorious at the box office on its third day, defying initial challenges and garnering positive attention from audiences. The action-packed film, which relies heavily on word of mouth, faced stiff competition from “Shaitaan” but managed to hold its ground. Let’s delve into the early trends and estimates for day 3 of “Yodha.”
Despite facing competition from Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan’s “Shaitaan,” “Yodha” commenced its box office journey with a respectable opening of approximately 4.20 crores. Backed by the extensive promotion efforts by Karan Johar and the production team, the film amassed a total of 10.26 crores in its first two days.
The momentum picked up significantly on Saturday, driven by spot bookings, and this trend continued on Sunday, catapulting the film’s earnings beyond the 5 crore mark. According to early trends, “Yodha” is estimated to have added between 7 to 7.30 crores on day 3, bringing the overall collection to a range of 17.26 to 17.56 crores.
While the film’s performance has been commendable, the upcoming weekdays will be crucial in determining its long-term trajectory at the box office. With decent but relatively lower collections, the film’s sustainability over the next few days will be pivotal in projecting its lifetime earnings.
Moreover, “Yodha” faces upcoming competition from “The Crew,” featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon, scheduled for release on March 29, 2024. Despite the promising buzz surrounding the women-led film, “Yodha” has the opportunity to maximize its collections within the next two weeks before facing a potential three-way clash.
Directed by renowned filmmaker, the action flick follows the journey of off-duty soldier Arun Katyal, portrayed by Sidharth Malhotra, as he navigates the challenges of fighting terrorists and saving passengers on a hijacked plane. With a gripping storyline and stellar supporting cast including Disha Patani, Ronit Roy, and Tanuj Virwani, “Yodha” promises an adrenaline-filled cinematic experience for audiences.
In conclusion, “Yodha” has surpassed expectations with its strong performance on day 3, showcasing the resilience and appeal of its narrative. As the film continues its box office journey, audiences eagerly await to see whether it maintains its momentum and emerges as a lasting success in the weeks to come.
