Singham Returns: Advance Booking Starts In Full Swing

This Independence day release is the much awaited action drama Singham Returns. Starring Ajay Devgnand Kareena Kapoor in lead roles, this is the second installment of the hit Rohit Shetty film Singham. With a long weekend in the loop, Singham Returns has a good chance to put up some excellent business at the box office.

The film's advance booking has already started with full swing and the morning show sales for the tickets have been going extremely well in multiplexes. Singham Returns has already sold out tickets rampantly in Pune, Delhi-NCR region and Mumbai too looks good. Interestingly, the ticket rates for the film have been kept at a normal range of 250-300 even for the late evening shows. The late evening shows in the areas such as Noida and Ghaziabad are also filling fast in multiplexes.

Overall looking at the advance booking, it seems that the film will be faring extremely well in metros since the multiplexes are showing a good occupancy for the first day. Considering the film is releasing on a holiday, the film is expected to open with good numbers.

Q. Can Singham Returns beat Kick to have the biggest opening day of the year as it is holiday?

Ans. A big holiday release today should beat a 25 crore figure but Singham Returns has content which is regional so Mumbai circuit is likely to beat Kick opening day but other circuits will find it tough. When a film does phenomenally well in Mumbai (Singham) or North (Bhaag Milha Bhaag) they can put up big numbers but to a certain level. To compete with top films, business has to be big across the board.
