Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited film Singham Again has finally wrapped up its box office run. Despite the promising expectations and an exciting Diwali clash with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the film’s performance has been a mixed bag, with good overseas earnings but disappointing domestic results. Here’s a detailed look at the final box office collections and analysis of the film’s worldwide performance.
Domestic Box Office Collection: A Disappointing Performance in India
Singham Again, the third installment in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, has opened to massive expectations. Still, this film, though it had a star-studded cast and the mighty legacy of the Singham franchise, has failed to touch its lofty box office targets in India.
The film has collected a net amount of ₹274.61 crores in India, and the gross collection is ₹324.03 crores, including taxes. Even though these are good numbers, Singham Again was not able to surpass the lifetime collection of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which was ₹281.53 crores. Also, the film was made on a massive budget of ₹340 crores, so its domestic box office performance was a financial failure.
That said, Singham Again is special in Ajay Devgn’s filmography as it emerged to be his second-highest-grossing film after Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. It also went past the box office numbers of all the previous Singham films, including Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. This makes it the highest-grossing movie in Ajay Devgn’s cop universe.
Overseas Box Office Collection: Success on the Global Stage
While Singham Again has not had an easy time at the domestic box office, it has done well internationally. With a gross collection of ₹82.96 crores in overseas markets, the film has been well received for its international appeal. Though it didn’t cross the expected ₹100 crore mark in foreign markets, it still worked well abroad, considering the genre and the popularity of the Singham franchise worldwide.
Worldwide Box Office Collection: Close but No Record
Worldwide, Singham Again ended up with a global gross total of ₹406.99 crores. That puts it as the highest-grossing Ajay Devgn film internationally. Yet, it could not even exceed the mark set by Chennai Express’s worldwide gross of ₹422 crores. Rohit Shetty had his heart set on breaking that with Singham again but didn’t even get close. That’s a margin of just a few crores short.
Final Box Office Numbers
- India Net: ₹274.61 crores
- India Gross: ₹324.03 crores
- Overseas Gross: ₹82.96 crores
- Worldwide Gross: ₹406.99 crores
A Mixed Bag for Singham Again
In conclusion, though Singham Again certainly made it up at the global box office, it failed to create the proper buzz set within its expectations for performance domestic in India. Despite having remained the highest grossing of its cop universe by Ajay Devgn and having resulted in solid international earnings, it has not surpassed the global level of Chennai Express, to Rohit Shetty’s relief. With a disappointing performance in India and missed records, Singham Again remains a complex case for the filmmakers as they look to rebound with future projects.
International success cannot be ignored, but its poor performance in India leads one to question the longevity of Singham’s mass appeal.
Singham Again Predictions
With its strong domestic and overseas projections, Singham Again can easily cross the ₹500 crore gross worldwide, making it one of the biggest hits for Ajay Devgn. The film may well be the highest-grossing film in the Singham franchise, surpassing the previous entries in the series.
Suppose the film performs up to the mark both in India and overseas. In that case, Singham Again might wrap up its theatrical with a worldwide gross collection to the tune of ₹ 500 crore, depending on audience response and competition from other biggies.
