Vikram Vedha may not be setting the box office on fire but for Saif Ali Khan, it is turning out to be a reasonable personal win as it has moved up the charts when it comes to his Top-10 weekends. Amongst his best openers, Vikram Vedha has in fact displaced Cocktail to move a spot up. His romcom with Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty had scored 36 crores over the weekend after opening at 11 crores. On the other hand, Vikram Vedha opened at 10.58 crores and has seen a better weekend with 37.59 crores* coming in.
Amongst his Top-3, while Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior and Race 2 stay intact, what has to be noted is that Humshakals is still at the No. 3 spot. The 2014 release was much maligned on its arrival but interestingly it is still amongst the Top-3 best weekends for Saif Ali Khan after opening quite well at 12.50 crores. In its lifetime, the film had collected 65 crores and though it was termed as a flop by a large segment of the trade, a number like that in today’s time won’t be considered all that bad.
