Singham Again Box Office Collection Day 1: Ajay Devgn Achieves Career-Best Opening

Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again has made a stunning debut at the box office, raking in ₹43.50 crore on its opening day. This impressive figure marks the biggest opening of Ajay Devgn's career, easily surpassing the ₹32.09 crore earned by Singham Returns on its first day back in 2014. Released during the Diwali festivities, Singham Again went head-to-head with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, with both films lighting up the box office.

Singham Again introduces new characters to Shetty's established cop universe, featuring Deepika Padukone as Shakti Shetty and Tiger Shroff as Satya. Salman Khan also makes a much-anticipated cameo as Chulbul Pandey, while Arjun Kapoor plays the antagonist. The film retains the core ensemble of Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Akshay Kumar, which continues to draw audiences.

Occupancy rates were strong across key locations, with Mumbai leading at 73.50% across 1,101 shows, followed by Ahmedabad at 76.25% for 751 screenings. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the film recorded 63.00% occupancy across 1,310 shows. Jaipur boasted the highest rate at 85.25% for 165 screenings, with other cities like Chennai (74.25% for 104 shows), Lucknow (77.50% for 228), and Bengaluru (58.00% for 369) also showing healthy turnout.

Although Singham Again was banned in Saudi Arabia due to concerns about its portrayal of religious conflicts, it continues to attract audiences in India. Shetty's vision, often referred to as "Desi Avengers," features a Ramayana-themed storyline designed to engage viewers throughout the holiday weekend.

Ajay Devgn expressed his gratitude for the film’s phenomenal start, stating, “It’s always a special feeling when the audience showers love on a project we put our heart into.” The record-breaking opening reflects the enduring popularity of Shetty’s cop universe and Devgn’s leading performance.

As Singham Again takes an early lead in the box office race against Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, industry analysts are eager to see how both films perform in the coming days. The success of these two Diwali releases has undoubtedly set the stage for a lucrative season at the movies.
