There was a sizeable drop in the earnings of Sooryavanshi in North India and Central India.  The maximum collections of the film came from Mumbai at Rs 10 cr. Gujarat and Saurashtra also saw a rise in its collections on Saturday.

Trade sources said that the collections of the film are likely to see  an increase on Sunday.

The Akshay Kumar Katrina Kaif starrer , which released in cinemas on Friday,  took a flying start at the box office with opening  day collections  of around Rs 26 cr at the box office.

Starring Akshay Kumar,  Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh and Katrina Kaif,  Sooryavanshi released on over 4000 cinema halls across India and nearly 1500 cinemahallsoversees.

With earnings of nearly Rs 26 cr on its opening day in India,  Sooryavanshi became the second highest opener for Akshay Kumar,  after Mission Mangal.

Trade experts say that It is the fourth highest opener for Rohit Shetty,  after Singham Returns,  Chennai Express and Golmaal Again.

Sooryavanshi has finally broken the jinx  for Bollywood,  which has in the past few months witnessed films like Bell Bottom,  Mumbai Saga,  Chehre and Thalaivi take an average opening in India amid the restrictions in cinema halls necessitated by Covid-19 pandemic and the reluctance of the audiences to venture out to watch films in theatres amid the looming threat of Covid-19.

The strong opening taken by Sooryavanshi has spread cheer in the film industry which is seeing it as a sign of the revival of film business in the country.

Though the past few months have witnessed the release of big starrers like Roohi, Mumbai Saga, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Bell Bottom and Chehre,  all of these film had an average run at the box office amid the continuing threat of Covid and restrictions put on place on entry of audiences in cinema halls.

However,  now, with a sharp decline in the Covid-19 cases across India,  cinema halls in most parts of the,  barring Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh,  are now operating at 100 per cent of their capacity.

The release of Sooryavanshi  kickstarts the process of release of big starrers in the cinema halls after a drought of film releases over the last 19 months due to the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Release of Sooryavanshi will be followed by the release of Bunty Aur Babli2 and Antim on November 19 and that of Satyameva Jayate 2 on November 25.

The makers of Sooryavanshi have released the film on a grand scale.  The film will release on over 4000 cinema halls across India and nearly 1500 cinema halls in oversees.

An action thriller Directed by Rohit Shetty,  Sooryavanshi stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles with Ranveer Singh featured in a pivotal role.

The film has  also been produced by Rohit Shetty in association with Cape Of Good Films of Akshay Kumar.
