Indian 2 Box Office Day 3: It seems like Kamal Haasan’s film is not holding steady at the box office. The highly-anticipated sequel, directed by S Shankar, was expected to emerge as one of the big hits this year. While the reviews are not in the favour of Indian 2, it was also revealed that the film has recorded a slow start at the box office. The film has earned Rs 15 crore on its first Sunday, as per Sacnilk.
Sacnilk reported that on its third day at the domestic box office, Indian 2 made Rs 15.1 crore. The Tamil version earned Rs 11 crore, the Telugu version (Bharateeyudu 2) earned Rs 2.8 crore, and the Hindi version (Hindustani 2) collected Rs 1.3 crore.
The collections for Indian 2 on its second day showed a decline compared to Saturday, with earnings of Rs 13.7 crore in Tamil, Rs 3.2 crore in Telugu, and Rs 1.3 crore in Hindi, totaling Rs 18.2 crore. This marked a big drop from its opening day earnings of Rs 25.6 crore (Rs 16.5 crore in Tamil, Rs 7.9 crore in Telugu, and Rs 1.2 crore in Hindi). The Hindi version saw a slight increase on Saturday and maintained steady numbers on Sunday. In Hindi, it faced competition from Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira. Sarfira is a remake of the Tamil film, Soorarai Pottru. Meanwhile, both films also faced off Kalki 2898 AD.
Indian 2 is a sequel to Indian, which released in 1996. S Shankar released the sequel after 28 years and it has not impressed the critics. News18’s review of the film read, “Everything looks great on paper. And Hindustani 2 is a great attempt. But it still falls short. It lacks the freshness of Hindustani and the makers try their best to make the canvas, magnitude, and scale bigger and better. Unfortunately, the film loses itself in its own ambitions. And while it stays true to its larger-than-life feel, dramatic tonality, and flamboyance, that also becomes a weak link for Hindustani 2. In short, it lacks the depth, the gravity, and the layered intricacies of the subject it had set out to explore. Halfway through it, you’ll feel as though you’re stuck in a labyrinth as Senapathy keeps aiming at one corrupt official after another giving them a cold-blooded death.”
