Singham Again Box Office Update: A Roaring Opening
Singham Again, the latest entry in Rohit Shetty‘s popular cop universe, has made a strong impression at the box office on its opening day. By 10 PM, the film had already collected ₹43.5 crore, signaling a robust performance that is expected to reach approximately ₹45 crore by the end of its first day. As the final figures are anticipated on Saturday morning, this debut positions Singham Again as a significant contender in the current box office landscape.
Strong Audience Reception and Occupancy Rates
The film’s occupancy rates reflect its popularity among moviegoers. Morning shows recorded an occupancy rate of 39.39%, which surged to 71.90% in the afternoon. Key cities such as Jaipur, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune reported the highest occupancy, ranging between 60-70%. In Delhi NCR, where the film had the most screenings—1,304 in total—the occupancy stood at around 50%.
Despite this strong start, industry reports suggest that Singham Again might not be reaching the box office heights typically associated with Rohit Shetty’s films or the Singham franchise, possibly due to the absence of bulk ticket purchases or discounts for this release. Nevertheless, the film’s initial figures indicate a positive response from audiences.
Competitive Landscape: Singham Again vs. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
Singham Again is entering the box office arena alongside Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. Early reports suggest that Singham Again is likely to outperform Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in Maharashtra, a key market for both films. Despite this competitive edge, both movies face the challenge of capturing audience attention during the bustling festive season. As viewers look for entertainment options, the rivalry between these two highly anticipated releases adds excitement to the box office landscape, making it crucial for both films to leverage their unique strengths to attract moviegoers.
About the Film: A Star-Studded Cast
Singham Again is the third installment in the beloved Singham franchise, following the successful releases of Singham in 2011 and Singham Returns in 2014. Both previous films were box office hits, establishing a strong foundation for this latest entry.
The film stars an impressive ensemble cast, including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh. The nearly five-minute trailer, which has garnered significant attention, showcases thrilling action sequences and memorable dialogues, hinting at a narrative filled with excitement and drama.
Themes and Characters: A Modern Twist
In Singham Again, Ajay Devgn reprises his iconic role as Bajirao Singham, facing off against Arjun Kapoor, who embodies a modern interpretation of good versus evil. Kareena Kapoor plays the role of Singham’s wife, while Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar return as Simmba and Sooryavanshi, respectively.
A notable new addition to the Cop Universe is Deepika Padukone, who takes on the role of Lady Singham, marking her entry into this action-packed franchise. Tiger Shroff also joins the cast as ACP Satya Pattnaik, further expanding the star-studded lineup.

As audiences flock to theaters, the film stands poised to deliver the action, drama, and entertainment that fans of the franchise have come to expect.
