I'm just going to copy paste my reply from another topic:
"Tbqh, you can't compare Diwali to Eid. Most of India's population follow Hinduism, and that's why collections slow down during Diwali in the evening during puja times.
The Muslim population though large, is comparatively lower. Nor do they have any puja or obligation (minus praying namaz) on Eid. And the larger non-Muslim population can go watch Eid releases in ease without any big obligation. It's simple logic. Eid releases are most likely to always fare higher than Diwali releases.
There's a reason why SOS and JTHJ collections TOGETHER couldn't match up to ETT's collections."
As for ETT specifically, it released a few days before Eid. But a large portion of Muslim communities are quite modern, like me, who still watches TV and goes out during Ramadan. Not saying all Muslims or majority of Muslims do it, but I am just saying a large portion does it. PLUS you have the larger non-Muslim community who went to watch ETT on Independence Day/Eid holidays, since they didn't have religious obligations.
