Hyderabad: The weekend box office clash between Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4 and Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files has generated a great deal of buzz. Released on September 5, the films are a world apart from one another. One is a high-octane action thriller, whereas the other is a political thriller based on real events. While both movies created buzz before release, their box office journey so far has painted two very different pictures.Baaghi 4 Day 4 Box Office Collection and OccupancyAccording to early estimates, Baaghi 4 earned Rs 4.25 crore on its first Monday (day 4). This brings its total domestic net collection to Rs 35.50 crore. The film had opened decently on Friday with Rs 12 crore, followed by collections of Rs 9.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 10 crore on Sunday. Its first weekend stood at Rs 31.25 crore.The film’s occupancy report on September 8 showed an overall Hindi occupancy of 15.56 percent. Morning shows recorded just 7.59 pc, but the numbers improved gradually through the day. Afternoon shows saw 13.92 pc, evening shows 16.68 pc, and night shows peaked at 24.05 pc.
About Baaghi 4Directed by A. Harsha, Baaghi 4 is the fourth film in the Baaghi franchise produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film features Tiger Shroff in the lead role, Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa in key roles, and Harnaaz Sandhu making her Hindi film debut.
The Baaghi franchise started in 2016 with Baaghi, followed by Baaghi 2 (2018) and Baaghi 3 (2020). The latest film is said to be loosely adapted from the Tamil Film, Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu. It combines action, romance, and drama, telling the story of Rony, a man haunted by hallucinations about his first love and her tragic death, eventually leading him on a revenge-driven path.The Bengal Files Day 4 Box Office Collection and OccupancyOn the other hand, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files showed a much smaller box office footprint. On Monday, the film collected Rs 1.10 crore, pushing its four-day total to Rs 7.85 crore. The film opened with Rs 1.75 crore on Friday and picked up momentum on Saturday with Rs 2.25 crore (a 28.57 pc jump). Sunday was further growth at Rs 2.75 crore, but the crash on Monday saw it fall sharply and cut into its momentum.
