Overview
- The film, after a steep Monday, March 23 drop, still reached about Rs 519 crore net in India and roughly Rs 830 crore worldwide, based on Sacnilk figures reported by Times of India, Filmfare and Business Today.
- Following Sunday’s record surge, the sequel posted a single‑day peak of Rs 114.85 crore across more than 21,000 shows, lifting its four‑day India net to Rs 454.12 crore and worldwide gross to about Rs 691 crore.
- By Tuesday trade updates diverged, with some outlets citing “over Rs 800 crore” worldwide and others reporting about Rs 919 crore, reflecting that these are estimates that can vary until official totals arrive.
- Coverage highlights a flood of records credited to Sacnilk, including the first Hindi film to net Rs 100 crore in a single day twice, while reactions range from Rajinikanth’s and Nagarjuna’s praise to online claims of propaganda.
- The rollout’s scale is a factor, with a 229‑minute runtime, premium formats and a rare Dolby U.S. release, and trade tallies often distinguish India net, which excludes entertainment tax, from gross and worldwide counts that include all ticket sales.
