Baaghi Day 3 (Sunday) Box Office Collections

Baaghi has shown growth of around 25% on Day 3 at the box office, which should take the Sunday collections of the film to around the 14 crore mark. The film continued to perform well at mass centres and multiplex business too has shown an upward trend on Sunday.

With a film like Baaghi performing well, it once again proves that the ‘masala’ genre of films will always have an audience in a country like India, especially at smaller centres where the biggest films of the year so far, haven’t performed upto expectations.

In fact, at quite a few B and C centres across the country, the Sunday of Baaghi has been the biggest day of 2016 – both in terms of footfalls and collections – bettering the first day of a big film like Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN. Of course, FAN had limited appeal at single-screens, but Baaghi is a much smaller film that has been made on less than half the budget.

The first weekend business of Baaghi is around the 37 – 38 crore mark (official figures for Sunday will be out in the noon). The total is at around the same range as the first week (7 days) business of Ajay Devgn’s Himmatwala and higher than the first weekend business of Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi 786 (32.21 crore), Boss (26.62 crore). It’s also around 10-15% lower than the lifetime business of Arjun Kapoor’s Tevar, which released in theatres last weekend and collected 41 crore at the box office.

In 2015, Akshay’s Gabbar Is Back collected Rs 39.45 crore in its first weekend, with the added advantage of May 1 holiday in several states. Bigger films (both in terms of star cast and costs) like Tamasha, Dil Dhadakne Do and Baby were around the 36-38 crore mark – which falls in the same range as Baaghi.

It’s difficult to pin-point reasons as to why the film has performed so well – especially when it didn’t have a popular music album. The young and fresh pairing of Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor has worked big time. With Heropanti and now Baaghi, Sabbir Khan has quickly emerged as a director to watch out for in the future and his films with Tiger will now have a following at mass centres. Shraddha Kapoor is now neck-and-neck with Alia Bhatt. She could be one of the Top 3 most popular female stars in the interiors of India – Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, ABCD 2 and now Baaghi have all been hugely successful.

The other factor that has worked in favour of the film is the timing of release. There hasn’t been an out-and-out mass youth film in the last couple of years – we’d have to go back to Tevar (more rural and less stylish) last year and Bang Bang (lead pair don’t exactly fall in the ‘young’ category) in 2013. Too many city-centric films were being made and the audience at smaller centres were being left out. They have come back to theatres in a big way and have made their presence felt with Baaghi.

Overall, Baaghi is a winner at the box office. Monday will decide how big a grosser the film can go on to be.

  • Hope it does as we need fresh blood of talent who can kick some ass. The other new heroes are eye candies…

  • Single screens audiences were waiting for a movie like baaghi from a long Time…..!!!!

  • Boi is saying 15cr
    Anyways its Trending exactly like heropanti
    5% drop followed by 30% jump
    Heropanti LT was 2.5 times its weekend
    If baaghi does the same then LT will b 92cr

  • That’s great..!!!
    Still tiger needs to come a long way before he is recognized as a superstar…!!!

  • This success will benefit Tiger Shroff’s next ‘The Flying Jatt’

    Best action hero of India, with serious dancing skills.

  • it was always supposed to be a superhit. india was badly missing a genuine action star. look at all the newcomers, hardly anybody can do action. mass belts always like action and masala entertainers, tiger has got the potential.

  • Wow.. amazing collections. Monday collections could be better than Fan.. because there are no releases for next two weeks.. it could beat Fan.

  • Akshay Kumar
    Ajay Devgan
    Suniel Shetty
    Sanjay Dutt
    John Abraham
    Now
    Tiger Shroff join this league

  • Good collections.

    Btw, watched The new Captain America in IMAX here in Manchester. I would say, it’s one of the best Marvel movies has ever done. The drama, the action scenes were amazing especially the one in the Airport , the narration..everything was absolutely great. Spiderman steals the show. Oh boy. He was so funny. Ant Man was good too and I’m he will surprise you. Black panther, Cap and Iron Man were amazing. All the characters are treat to watch. Well done Russo Brothers. Will definitely gonna see it on this Monday.

  • Shraddha has done nothing off note in these films. Her parts in the trailer were insignificant. Alia has played substantial roles and is a much better actress with a lot more screen presence. Shraddha is a star but there’s not much to say abouther roles.

    Alia will have a good and long future in the industry thanks to her acting and connections (dharma/karan) while shraddha and others like anushka are 4-5 years older and don’t have Alia’s acting or screen presence.

  • Baghi collections of weekend is much greater than multistarrer Zindgi na milegi dubaara weekend collections.this proves Tiger is a bigger star than Hrithik.

  • Tiger is a new member of Btowns elite batting line up now n that too only after 2 films joining Varun n Sid. This ofcourse means he wont be partaking in Btowns reserve team aka Floppistan Team

  • Sunday business is outstanding considering this was a masala flick lacking any content n not having 2 Oscar winning performances from its Lead like Pankha had…!

    Masala >>>> Content

  • The Flying Jatt will be Indias best superhero movie since Mr India… Everything in last 30 yrs including those mutant rip off movies from Roshan family is utter garbage…!

  • The % rate @ which Indian audience are becoming unpredictable keeps on escalating..!!

    Crazy atimes.. Esp 2016.

    A content rich movie comes on January gets appreciated.. Gross very high.
    Another beautiful wom from critics..

    Content rich movie of another huge Superstar comes out but audience decline.

    A mis-match couple pairing, with a more technical storyline strictly to be understood by urban audience comes out and emerges hit

    A Hollywood kids comic animated movie comes to India and becomes the Hgoty so far.

    Now…a massy.. Strictly action genre movie of youngster with mixed wom hits the screen and now the footfalls suggests it’s the most effective movie so far.. with a minimum anticipated verdict of Hit status.

    Only in bollywood.. And that’s why bollywood will always remain bollywood…
    And we all love it!!!

  • Masala genre is the reason for good collections…There hasn’t been a good masala movie in a while ever since Gabbar is back released starring a known face..
    This proves that housefull 3 can be a blockbuster as there hasn’t been a good comedy movie starring well known actors since Singh is Bling and Welcome back…
    These 2 along with thrillers are my favourite genres so I am very excited but Bhaagi is surely a miss as I am not so desperate to digest Tiger only for Shraddha like some aashiqs

  • Baaghi and tiger ? also gonna kick FAN right where it hurts too much fun. Go get um Tiger love the film.

  • Tiger shroff is getting popular at B and C centres…He will be the first one to crack interiors than as i still feel Varun, Sid etc. do more metro oriented movies….Tiger did Heropanti and Baaghi, his both movies and even the next one Flying Jatt is again a movie with mass appeal…

    Looks like will gross more than Kapoor & Sons (2 lead actors), Ki & Ka and even Neerja. If it grosses more than Fan then, Tiger will be the next big thing…If he improves his acting and can do bit of comedy he can do action comedies like Jackie Chan

  • Baaghi is very impressive with action scenes . So the public love that type of films go to watch baaghi . like me i go 2 time to watch baaghi .

    Baaghi will be collect 100 crore on box office.

  • Now a 15 cr opening for Flying Jatt is confirmed. Only thing to worry for Baaghi is the most awaited Captain America Civil war
