Shaitaan box office collection day 10: The Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan Enters ₹100 crore club

Shaitaan, directed by Vikas Bahl, has achieved a remarkable milestone at the Indian box office. The psychological horror thriller, led by Ajay Devgn, has entered the prestigious ₹100 crore club. Despite facing competition from the big-budget release Yodha in its second week, the film has managed to maintain a steady performance and receive a positive response from the audience. According to the latest report on Sacnilk.com, Shaitaan has crossed the ₹100 crore mark on its tenth day, which falls on a Sunday. The report indicates that the film collected approximately ₹9.75 crore on its second Sunday. With a jump in collection during the second weekend, the film had already grossed ₹93.57 crore by day 9. The total collection is now estimated to be around ₹103.05 crore. Additionally, the report reveals that Shaitaan recorded a 37.19% Hindi occupancy on Sunday.

Directed by Vikas Bahl, Shaitaan is produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak under the banners Jio Studios, Devgn Films, and Panorama Studios. The film revolves around a family held hostage in their own home by a man with supernatural powers. Ajay Devgn and Jyothika portray the roles of husband and wife, while R Madhavan plays the antagonist. Shaitaan is a Hindi remake of the 2023 Gujarati film Vash, written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik. The film has already achieved the ₹100 crore milestone worldwide, making it the third Hindi movie to do so in the same year, following Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter and Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon-starrer Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.

In an excerpt from the Hindustan Times review, the author states, “The final sequence, which the film’s self-aggrandising self-awareness ties in with the opening shot of a rotting rat in a forest, ultimately loosens the knot that you ought to feel in your stomach after a film like this. It’s still a tricky period for the big-screen film, and what Shaitaan seems to be hoping will work in its favour is shock value. If a raucous and mildly unsettling hostage drama with a more than mildly entertaining R Madhavan is enough for you, go watch it.”
