On the other hand, last week released much-awaited action-thriller Baaghi 3 starring Tiger Shroff, Shraddha Kapoor, and Riteish Deshmukh had a solid first week of 90.67 crores despite a mixed word of mouth but got failed to carry the pace forward and slipped abruptly.

In the second weekend, Ahmed Khan’s directorial had raked 2.15 crores on Friday, 1.80 crores on Saturday & 1.85 crores on Sunday. Then on 2nd Monday, the film had managed to collect 0.51 crores after a heavy decline and raised 11 days total collection to 97 crores nett at the domestic box office.

As per the reports, both films will be re-released to recover the loss when the situation gets better. Akshay Kumar’s highly-buzzed Sooryavanshi which was slated for release on 24 March 2020, is also waiting to get a new release date.
