Deva Box Office Collection Day 2: Shahid Kapoor’s Film Shows Modest Growth, But Faces Tough Competition
Deva’s Box Office Performance: A Modest Increase on Day 2
Shahid Kapoor’s latest action thriller Deva has shown a slight improvement in box office earnings on Day 2, despite falling short of expectations. The film, which had a lukewarm start with a collection of Rs 5.5 crore on its opening day, earned Rs 6.42 crore on Day 2, reflecting a growth of 16.73%. While this is a positive sign, the movie’s performance still lags behind the projected figures, leaving fans and analysts wondering if it can pick up pace over the weekend.
Competition from Sky Force Puts Deva at a Disadvantage
Despite being one of the most anticipated releases, Deva faces stiff competition from other films, including Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force, which continues to perform well in its second week. On Saturday, Deva earned slightly more than Sky Force (which collected Rs 5 crore), but this doesn’t provide the film with the kind of edge needed to dominate the box office. The film will need a significant increase in earnings over the weekend to match expectations and compete against the ongoing presence of other releases.
Deva Surpasses Rs 10 Crore Global Box Office Mark on Day 1
While its domestic performance may have been underwhelming, Deva has managed to achieve some success internationally. The movie’s global gross box office collection crossed Rs 10 crore on its opening day, with Rs 6.82 crore from domestic earnings and Rs 3.49 crore from overseas markets. These figures show that while the film faces challenges at home, it is gaining traction abroad, which could help it recover some of its production costs if international numbers continue to grow.
Deva’s Weekend Box Office Potential: Can It Turn Things Around?
With the small boost in Day 2 earnings, Deva has the potential to perform better over the weekend. Saturday’s growth offers some hope that the film could pick up pace and attract more viewers on Sunday. If the film can maintain or further increase its earnings on Day 3, it could recover more ground, especially in key markets. However, without significant weekend growth, Deva may struggle to achieve the box office success that was originally expected from this high-budget production.
What’s Next for Deva at the Box Office?
As the weekend progresses, the success of Deva at the box office will depend largely on its ability to sustain the growth seen on Day 2. Shahid Kapoor’s star power could still play a role in attracting more audiences, but it will be a tough road ahead with other films holding strong positions. The coming days will determine whether Deva can overcome its challenges, especially considering its relatively weaker domestic performance and competition from other big-ticket films.
