Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra shows a 55 percent jump in collections on the second Saturday. Early estimates suggest that the film will be in the range of €15.25 to 16.25 croresbringing the total collections around the €197 crores. With this, Brahmastra has surpassed the collections of Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif to emerge as the second highest-grossing film of pandemic times.

For those who didn’t know, Sooryavanshi had collected Rs. 196 crores at the box office. Brahmastra will pay the Rs. 200 crore club with ease on Sunday and will conclude its 10-day run with collections of Rs. 215 million dollars. It is also in the running to surpass The Kashmir Files’ lifetime collections and emerge as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of pandemic times.

From the Rs. 197.25 crores, the film has collected Rs. 177 crores in Hindi with an additional Rs. 20.25 crores come in from the South Indian dubbed version. The film had also shown a surprising trend on 2nd Friday as collections had surged from Thursday. While it collected Rs. 10.30 crores on the second Friday, the second Saturday’s collections averaged Rs. 15.75 crores. The film is going to shoot a 2nd weekend total of Rs. 43 to 45 crores, which is an excellent result.

The trend in the second weekend has led to a HIT ruling and it remains to be seen if it can enter the Rs. 250 crore club and surpass The Kashmir Files and if it does, we’ll have to see how close it can get to Tanhaji, the highest grossing Bollywood film since January 2020. Brahmastra is currently the second highest-grossing Ranbir Kapoor film, and it will remain such that the Sanju numbers will be out of reach.
