Mumbai, November 12 - Akshay Kumar-led "Sooryavanshi" has turned the table for Bollywood and enjoyed a fantabulous opening week at the box office. The early box office trends for Thursday promise that this Rohit Shetty-directed cop-drama flick will finish the first week (Fri-Thu) with over ₹ 120 crores net, which is more than double of "Bell Bottom's" worldwide gross of ₹ 54 crores.

The first film in (possible) "Sooryavanshi" franchise and 4th in Shetty's cop universe, "Sooryavanshi" remained solid throughout the weekdays after finishing the first weekend on ₹ 77.08 crores net (best ever 3-day start for Akshay Kumar film). On Thursday, the film netted ₹ 8.30 crores, for a total domestic net collection of ₹ 120.66 crores.



"Sooryavanshi" is the first Bollywood ₹ 100 crore net collection film since Ajay Devgn-fronted "Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior". The pandemic-hit Hindi film industry got a new lease of life with "Sooryavanshi", which surely has set the bar high for other biggies (Antim, SMJ2) to follow and maintain the good box office run.

Overseas, "Sooryavanshi" has grossed approx ₹ 36 crores in the first week, helping the film's total worldwide gross to finish over ₹ 177 crores over the first week. It will get one more week for the free box office run before YRF's "Bunty Aur Babli 2" arrives next Friday (November 19). "Sooryavanshi" should finish the second week with ₹ 40 crores (+/-), while its total net box office run is projected to end around ₹ 180 crores (+/-) with gross worldwide gross finishing over ₹ 260 crores.

Produced by Reliance Entertainment and Rohit Shetty Picturez in association with Dharma Productions and Cape of Good Films, "Sooryavanshi" released over 4500+ screens worldwide, including 1300 screens overseas. It also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in the extended cameos as Singham and Simmba, and Katrina Kaif in the female lead.
