Singham Again advance booking: With more shows, Ajay Devgn's film nears Rs 10 crore

Ajay Devgn's Singham Again has finally picked up pace in the advance bookings and is showing a fantastic performance. The performance is expected to grow towards the end of the day.

In Short

• Singham Again is set for solid advance bookings with 19 lakh tickets sold so far
• The film grossed Rs 6.34 crore, and Rs 8.91 corer including blocked seats
• Both films compete for Diwali box office dominance

Ajay Devgn's cop drama, Singham Again, is on its way to setting some serious opening day records at the box office. At least that's what the solid advance booking suggests. The final advance bookings for the film opened everywhere on Wednesday, October 30 and created an uproar at the ticket window. The Rohit Shetty-directorial is enjoying the maximum number of shows in India and as of 11 am on Thursday, it has sold over 19 lakh tickets for its first day.

Singham Again, which boasts a stunning star-cast, has grossed Rs 6.34 crore so far. The number including the blocked seats data is around Rs 8.91 crore gross, reported the trade website Sacnilk.

The advance bookings are expected to explode towards the end of the day and Friday, November 1, is likely to be bigger than the opening day of other Singham movies so far.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 advance booking update

Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which is challenging the smooth run of Singham Again this Diwali, has also shown incredible performance in advance booking. The Kartik Aaryan-starrer might have got fewer shows compared to the cop drama, but the tickets are being sold like hotcakes.

As of 11 am on Thursday, the Anees Bazmee-directorial sold over 24 lakh tickets for 8805 shows all across the country with an ultimate cross of Rs 9.94 crore so far (including blocked seats). This clearly shows that even with fewer screens, the film has successfully attracted the audience to theatres.

It will be interesting to see which film wins the final opening day battle tomorrow at the box office. The competition is tough, and a lot seems to be at stake.
