Sunday Box Office Collection: Sarkaru Vaari Paata crosses Rs 100 cr, Jayeshbhai Jordaar continues to struggle

The maximum earnings on Sunday at the box office were made by Mahesh Babu's Sarkaru Vaari Paata, followed by Yash's KGF: Chapter 2. Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar failed to attract the audience even on Sunday as it continues to stay a put at the box office.

Telugu actor Mahesh Babu's film 'Sarkaru Vaari Pata' had the highest collection on Sunday among the films running in the theatres across the country. On the fourth day of the film's release, the collection of this film improved from Saturday. Ranveer Singh's film 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar' also did a better job at the box office on Sunday compared to Saturday. However, looking at the film’s collection so far, there is barely any hope for the film to make any decent business. Yash Raj Films, which backed Jayeshbhai Jordaar, has now swiftly turned its focus to Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Prithviraj. At the same time, Yash's 'KGF Chapter 2' jumped again on Sunday and on the 32nd day of its release, it was successful in beating 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar’s collections of day three. Here’s a look at how the films performed at the box office on Sunday:
