Student of the Year 2 box office day 2: Tiger Shroff’s film collects ₹26 cr, may face challenge from IPL final on Sunday

Student of the Year 2 box office day 2: The Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria film collected ₹14 crore on Saturday, taking its total to ₹26 crore.

Student of the Year 2, starring Tiger Shroff and debutants Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria, showed slight growth on its second day at theatres. After opening to a collection of ₹12 crore on Friday, it made another ₹14 crore on Saturday, taking its two-day collection to ₹26 crore. However, the film may not show enough growth on Sunday due to the final IPL match in the evening.

Student of the Year 2 box office day 2: The film has collected ₹26 crore in two days.

Sharing the second day collections of the film, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, “#StudentOfTheYear2 witnesses growth on Day 2, but lacks the appreciation for a solid jump... Mumbai, Delhi, NCR plexes performing better... #IPL2019Final today [Sun] will hit biz, evening onwards... Fri 12.06 cr, Sat 14.02 cr. Total: ₹26.08 cr. India biz. #SOTY2.”

The film was leaked on torrent website, TamilRockers a day after its release, as reported by Indian Express. It has been directed by Punit Malhotra, who previously helmed Kareena Kapoor-starrer Gori Tere Pyaar Mein and Imran Khan-Sonam Kapoor starrer, I Hate Luv Storys.

SOTY marks the Bollywood debut of Chunky Panday’s daughter Ananya and Disney VJ Tara. It enjoyed a solo release at the domestic box office but it still faces competition from Hollywood films, Avengers: Endgame and Detective Pikachu. The Marvel film opened to packed theatres in India and has collected ₹400 crore.

The film is still the fifth highest opening Bollywood film after Kalank, Kesari, Gully Boy and Total Dhamaal which recorded an opening of ₹21.60 cr, ₹21.06 cr, ₹19.40 cr and ₹16 cr, respectively. It is also Tiger’s second biggest opener after Baaghi 2 which opened at ₹25 crore.

Apart from a few dance numbers such as The Jawaani Song and Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan, the film also boasts of a special romantic dance number titled The Hook Up Song, performed by Alia Bhatt.
