Thugs of Hindostan box office day 11: Aamir Khan film records lower second weekend than Shah Rukh’s Fan, Salman’s Tubelight

Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan made just ₹5.25 crore at the box office during its second weekend. Its box office collection now stands at a total of ₹139 crore.

Thugs of Hindostan is running in its second week and is struggling hard for survival at the box office. The film that boasts of a huge starcast including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh collected just around ₹2.25 crore on its second Sunday. This takes its total box office collection to around ₹139.50 crore, as reported by Boxofficeindia.com.

Thugs of Hindostan box office collection is around ₹139 crore after 11 days of release.

Thugs of Hindostan made just ₹5.25 crore in its second weekend, which is lower than Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan and Salman Khan’s Tubelight. According to Boxofficeindia.com, Tubelight had collected around ₹7.50 crore in its second weekend whereas Fan had made around ₹7.75 crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also updated the box office figures of the film on Twitter.

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs of Hindostan had opened at a whopping ₹50 crore, becoming the first Bollywood film to make half century on its first day. Hiked ticket prices and record-breaking advance ticket sales contributed to such a big opening. However, the collections of the film fell to almost half on day, at around ₹28 crore, as reviews started coming in. It had collected ₹22. 75 crore and ₹16.75 crore on its first Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Thereafter, the collections of the film dropped remarkably with no signs of improvement in sight.

While the makers had called the film a visual spectacle that also had a few breathtaking dance numbers like Katrina’s Suraiyaa for the glam appeal, the critics were not impressed. A negative word of mouth led to further damage at the box office. Despite not fulfilling the expectations, the film had the highest opening ever witnessed by its star cast in their respective careers. Aamir, known as a perfectionist for his cent per cent success record, had last delivered an unsuccessful film Mela in 2000.
