Box Office Report: Vikram clears the ‘Monday Test’, enters Rs 100 cr club

Kamal Haasan’s Vikram has entered the Rs 100 crore club at the domestic box office, within four days of its release, while Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has entered the Rs 200 core club on the worldwide front. Meanwhile, Adivi Sesh’s Major, which might have had a fairly slow start, seems to be beating Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj in the number game.

The makers had high hopes for Akshay Kumar-starrer Samrat Prithviraj, which was released in the theatre on Friday. But on the opening day itself, the film fell flat at the box office. On the first day, the film, which marked the Bollywood debut of Manushi Chhillar, could not even come at par with Akshay’s last release, ‘Bachchhan Paandey’. Apart from Hindi, this film was also released in Tamil and Telugu; despite this, it has had an average performance at the box office.

The show-stealer at the box office has been Kamal Haasan’s Vikram. On the fourth day of its release, which also happens to be the ‘Monday Test’ (the first crucial Monday of a film’s release), Vikram entered the Rs 100 crore club at the domestic box office. At the same time, Adivi Sesh’s Major has also been doing better with its collection. Take a look at the Monday’s box office report:
