SINGHAM RETURNS Gets 3500-3600 SCREENS - Page 2

While actors may claim that they steer clear of the number game and are not keen on the business aspect of their films, the box office is ultimately what decides the star power. With the current trend of films grabbing business in the 100 crore and 200 crore league we wondered how will Ajay Devgn's upcoming releaseSingham Returns fare and does it have the potential to be Ajay's fastest run at the coveted 100 crore club?

So far, looking at the performance of Ajay Devgn films, the actor already has four films in the 100 crore club such as Singham, Golmaal 3, Son of Sardaar and Bol Bachchan. Interestingly 3 of them have been directed by Rohit Shetty and that makes it quite clear that the actor-director duo are a killer combo when it comes churning out superhits.

While the first entrant for Ajay Devgn into the 100 crore banner was Golmaal 3, post this too his Singhamcrossed the 100 crore barrier in 37 days and his fastest entrant until now is Son Of Sardaar, which managed to achieve the feat in 16 days.

Now that the sequel to Singham is up for release, there is a good chance that Ajay may speed up his way to collect the desirable figure even sooner. Releasing on the 15th of August, the film will be cashing in on the holiday and the long weekend followed by it. This commercial potboiler is expected to have a good opening and may even give Ajay his highest opening day collections.

Possibilities seem ripe for this drama and based on the premise of having a bumper opening, it has high chances of pulling off a 60 crore+ weekend. If the film maintains this high stride over its first week, a 100 crore in 7 days will be the dream collection for Singham Returns.

Highly dependent on the quality of content and whether it strikes the right nerve with the audiences, the film may even be able to cross 150 crores lifetime collection which will be the highest ever for an Ajay Degn film.
