This year the box office is being dominated by films from the South. While these films are making a big splash at the box office, the audience seems to be unhappy with the releases from the Hindi film industry. In the second week of August, Mohit Suri’s Bollywood film ‘Ek Villain Returns’ clashes with three South films – ‘Vikrant Rona, Sita Ramam and Bimbisara. Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s 'Bimbisara', which was released in Telugu, has surpassed Mrunal Thakur and Dulquer Salmaan's pan-India film 'Sita Ramam'. At the same time, 'Ek Villain Returns' and 'Vikrant Rona' are also not able to do anything special. Check out the Monday box office reports of these films.

Ek Villain Returns: Directed by Mohit Suri, 'Ek Villain Returns' is getting little advantage of the fact that no other Hindi film has been released this week. But the film still hasn't crossed the Rs 40 crore mark. According to preliminary figures, 'Ek Villain Returns' collected only Rs 80 lakh on Monday. In such a situation, the film's earnings have gone up to Rs 39.74 crore so far. The film has also failed to meet its budget.
