On September 20, movie lovers nationwide stepped out in big numbers to celebrate National Cinema Day by watching films at discounted rates. As expected, Stree 2 dominated the scene by attracting maximum footfalls. Yudhra sprung a big surprise by managing the second-best score yesterday among all Indian films running in theatres. Keep reading for a detailed box office report of National Cinema Day!
For those who don’t know, movie tickets were capped at 99 rupees yesterday at most theatres in India. Stree 2 benefited immensely from this, and it turned out to be the highest earner with a collection of 5.20 crores. It was followed by Yudhra, which, despite a minimal buzz around its release, opened at 4.52 crores.
Followed by Yudhra was Tumbbad, which did a business of 3.04 crores at the Indian box office on National Cinema Day. Being a re-release, such numbers are truly commendable. It is to be noted that the benefit of National Cinema Day was majorly enjoyed by Bollywood films as in some important parts of South India, there were no discounted rates. So, films from the South didn’t see a big surge in collections.
