Both the Diwali releases may have opened to only fair houses yesterday (November 1) but collections picked up phenomenally as the day progressed. SINGHAM AGAIN performed better than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3, as was expected. SINGHAM AGAIN netted around Rs. 40 crore on the first day while BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 managed Rs. 32 crore (excluding bulk bookings by interested parties).

Venom: The Last Dance (dubbed and the original English versions) did well in the first weekend but collections dropped quite markedly after that. The dull pre-Diwali days took their toll on the film. After a Thursday net collection total of Rs. 4.20 crore, the film collected Rs. 5.15 crore on Friday, Rs. 5.75 crore on Saturday and Rs. 5.50 crore on Sunday. Therefore, the total for the first 4-day weekend was Rs. 20.60 crore. Collections for the weekdays were: Monday – Rs. 3.25 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 2.75 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 2.50 crore, Thursday – Rs. 2.50 crore. Hence the total for the weekdays was Rs. 11 crore. In this way, the total for the first week was Rs. 31.60 crore.
