Can Shivaay be Ajay Devgn’s highest box office opener?

With less than a day to go for the theatrical release of Ajay Devgn’s ambitious directorial venture ‘Shivaay’, all eyes will be on the opening day box office collections of the film.

The target will be to break the record of Ajay’s highest ‘non-holiday’ opening, held by Bol Bachchan (2012). It’s a record that has held on strongly, inspite of Ajay having quite a few releases like Satyagraha, Action Jackson and Himmatwala.

His last release, Drishyam, did not open well at the box office and collected just 5.3 crore on its opening day.

While ‘Shivaay’ releases during the dull ‘pre-Diwali’ period, it remains to be seen if the film can surpass the opening day of Bol Bachchan and become Ajay’s highest non-holiday opener to date.

‘Singham Returns’, which released on Independence Day, remains his career’s biggest box office opening. It’s ahead of all his other films by a huge margin of 165%.

Check out the Top 10 list below:

  • 1. Singham Returns (2014) – 32.09 crore
  • 2. Bol Bachchan (2012) – 12.1 crore
  • 3. Satyagraha (2013) – 11.21 crore
  • 4. Action Jackson (2014) – 11.1 crore
  • 5. Himmatwala (2013) – 11 crore
  • 6. Son Of Sardaar (2012) – 10.72 crore
  • 7. Raajneeti (2010) – 10.5 crore
  • 8. Singham (2011) – 8.92 crore
  • 9. Golmaal 3 (2010) – 8.5 crore
  • 10. Rascals (2011) – 7.25 crore

  • @Winston its sad that whole industry against shivaay despite attempting risk with huge budget reason is himself, when iconic director of our country died all industry with yash ji still ajay didn’t postpone his film and filed case agaist YRF what a cheap person he is whole industry now taking revenge against him

  • @Rishant, Varun 1 15 Ajay 1 32
    Varun rest are below 11. So what makes him higher?
    Akki non holiday for solo H3 regarded more lucrative than independence day 32 cr SR according to Indicine. What’s the negativity there for? Remember this Shivaay is like normal day its pre Diwali so don’t expect much I think by Sat Sun then they can be cause of dialogue but for now seems people due to hatred don’t even know what they are posting and does it make sense?
    Sidhart Ek Villain typical non holiday is on par with a holiday highest opener of Akki. So what you saying bro

  • Saif’s top 2 highest non holiday openers are better than ajay’s top 2 non holiday openers. lol

    humshkls:12,cocktail:12 SAIF

    BB:12,Aj, 11 AJAY

    Saif needs to choose better filmS and he will takeover ajay easily…Should do go goa gone 2 on bugger scale. he was fab in this .

  • Indicine FBO officially put ADHM first, I’m so happy !!! Shivaay has to flop badly for Ajay to learn the lesson…

  • Weekend of Shivaay will give a long gap to Adhm. Adhm reviews are coming out just average. Open big maybe tomorrow, sat sun family moves in to watch Shivaay.

  • shivay will be avg or above avg film according to verdict because budget is too high and aj have no lojal fan base according to my prediction maximum 125- 135 crore

  • This shows that Ajay is not big a star to pull audiences on his own. He can’t even guarantee a 12 cr opening. Singham 2’s opening is a miracle where it has a lot of favourable factors.
    With Shivay, I think he may be able to touch 12 cr Mark on opening day.

  • And with a huge chunk of collections coming from multiplexes where Ajay hardly has any following, Shivay being an expensive movie might prove a huge mistake for Ajay.

  • the buzz for shivvay has decreased drastically. ..and for adhm has increased tremendously. …..at the time of trailer shivvay was expected to take bigger opening I. e 5-6 cr more than adhm. ..but now I m afraid it will collect 2-3 cr less than adhm. …….adhm was helped hugely by controversies and songs….whereas it has been a downhill for shivvay since it’s trailer. ….

    ….ajay fans I m a neutral fan and not bashing ajay or shivvay just saying the truth….We have experienced all this during MD vs Rustom clash. …

    …I think most of the fans will agree. ..

  • Its has to be the highest grossing movie of Ajay Devgn for a clean hit status.. best of luck Shivaay team will watch fdfs

  • ADHM will always ahead from SHIVAAY…..
    Reason for ADHM—
    1. Starcast,
    2. Supporting Cast(SRK),
    3. Music,
    4. Acting,
    5. Director(his previous all movie)…

  • Yes Shivay will be Highest All time mega Disater box office Result For Koyla Devgan..Shivay looks like b-Grade Action movie… Movie will not Do more than 40 cr Life time…
    Ajay Devgan’s Shivay = Non actor’s Marigold

    Any ways Eagarly waiting For Raees
    Only 90 Days left
    Baniya ka Dimaag Aur
    Miyaa bhai ki Daaring

  • @winston its strange that you saying yourself that you are not indian and follow KRK tweets we indians dont care a damn for KRK or any other so called critics

  • @Challa your bhagoda intolerant koyla khan is the most insecure actor who ran away due to inesecurity. He is not worth being called a star. Now get kist aukaatless bhagoda’s fan.

  • I really feel pity for those who are mocking hard work of Ajay Devgn. Also, i feel pity who are going to watch Adhm. Remember ADHM is a tragic film and we should not spoil diwali mood by watching trajedy movies. Instead watch feel good happy ending movie like Shivaaay.

  • Lol post ipl(not a single off day except regular sunday’s) more lucrative than independence day holiday period…!!!
    Insane analysis?? from Adians
