Box Office: 'Antim: The Final Truth' Scores A Healthy Opening Week

Mumbai, December 3 - Salman Khan and Ayush Sharma-starrer "Antim: The Final Truth" seems to have found its audiences over the opening week at the box office. Even the numbers are still low as compared to the pre-covid level, the action entertainer still managed to put more than a decent total in the first week with a net collection of Rs. 29.35 crores. ## Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, "Antim: The Final Truth" generally received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, which helped it to remain steady at the box office through weekdays, making it the second biggest Bollywood grosser in the first week in 2021. It netted Rs. 18.61 crores in the opening weekend, which is the second-best after "Sooryavanshi" (Rs. 77.08 cr.) in 2021. ## Overseas, "Antim" has managed to gross approx Rs. 6.35 crores in the first 6 days, which takes its total worldwide gross to Rs. 38.50 crores. "Antim" will also surpass Akshay Kumar's "Bell Bottom's" lifetime India gross of Rs. 39.40 crores after the second weekend. "Bell Bottom", however, was the first major release after the second covid-19 wave and also released without Maharasthra and 50% occupancy. ## Produced by Salman Khan Films in association with Zee Studios, "Antim" features Salman Khan as a Sikh cop in the extended role and Ayush Sharma as a gangster, also in the leading role. Mahima Makawana plays the female lead in her Bollywood debut. The movie is an adaptation of the Marathi hit film Mulshi Pattern. ## Meanwhile, "Antim's" screens will be reduced due to the new release "Tadap", which is expected to do very well in its box office run. However, the good news for "Antim", and also for "Tadap" is that Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" is now available to stream on Netflix, so won't get to0 many screens from now onwards. "Satyameva Jayate 2" has had a low first week, so, it will be tough for it to get screens. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Sooryavanshi Crosses '2.0' After Putting A Strong Show

Mumbai, December 2 - Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavasnhi" is marching alone at the box office and attracting footfalls even towards the end of the 4th week and in between the competition with Salman Khan-starrer "Antim: The Final Truth".## The Rohit Shetty-directed cop drama netted an estimated 51 lakh on its 27th day (4th Wednesday), taking its total India net collection to Rs. 190.87 crores. The Wednesday collection helps "Sooryavanshi" to cross the lifetime total of "2.0" (Hindi), which netted 190.48 crores. Akshay played an antagonist the sci-fi actioner against protagonist Rajinikanth. It becomes Akshay's 4th highest-earning film at the Indian box office and will most probably finish with that spot.## Surpassing "2.0's" Hindi total is a big achievement for the makers considering the fact that it was released amid the covid-19 pandemic with 50% theater capacity in Maharasthra and some of the other states. The movie, however, was expected to do well at the box office, and one would say, it has succeeded the expectations of trade analysts. ## Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Rohit Shetty Picturez, Dharma Productions, and Cape of Good Films, "Sooryavanshi" took a solid opening of Rs. 77.08 crores over the first weekend. The positive WOM helped it further to finish the opening week at Rs. 120.66 crore and the second week on 45.57 crores.## From the third week onwards, "Sooryavanshi" faced a competetion with YRF's "Bunty Aur Babli 2". Despite the competition, it fetched another Rs. 18.68 crores in the 3rd week. With two new releases in the form of "Satyameva Jayate 2" (Nov. 25), and "Antim" (Nov. 26), "Sooryavanshi" started slowing down but still managed to hold strong with a likely over Rs. 6 crores 4th-week finish. With a new release again in the 5th week, it remains to see if "Sooryavanshi" can touch a magical Rs. 200 crore figure. ## Stay tuned...
