Karan Johar’s latest production venture, Student of the Year 2, continued to have an average run at the ticket windows and has collected ₹38.83 crore at the box office after the first weekend. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office collection of the Tiger Shroff-Tara Sutaria-Ananya Panday film, “Student Of The Year 2 has a decent weekend, but when compared to Tiger Shroff’s earlier releases [data follows], the numbers should’ve been higher than #Baaghi [2016] at least... #SOTY2 has an important task ahead: It needs to maintain the pace on weekdays.”
He reported that the film has earned ₹38.83 crore and was affected by polling in certain parts of India as well as the finals of Indian Premiere League 2019. “StudentOfTheYear2 saw limited growth on Day 2, while the sixth phase of polling [cinemas were shut till evening] + #IPL2019Final [evening onwards] affected its biz on Day 3... Fri 12.06 cr, Sat 14.02 cr, Sun 12.75 cr. Total: ₹ 38.83 cr. India biz. #SOTY2,” he wrote.
He also said that the film enjoys a short window at the box office with Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyar De and Hollywood biggie John Wick coming out next week. “Tiger Shroff versus Tiger Shroff... Top 3 *opening weekend* biz... 2016: #Baaghi ₹ 38.58 cr, 2018: #Baaghi2 ₹ 73.10 cr, 2019: #SOTY2 ₹ 38.83 cr. #SOTY2 faces two major films on Fri - #DeDePyaarDe and #JohnWick: Chapter 3... Biz on weekdays is extremely crucial. India biz.”
