November 5, 2024: Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again has proven to be a major hit, adding another feather in the director’s cap with its explosive box-office success.
The film, which released during the Diwali festival, not only marked a significant milestone as Shetty’s 10th film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, but also quickly became his fastest to do so. This achievement reflects both the director’s popularity and the audience’s consistent love for his high-octane action-packed films.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Rohit Shetty shared his excitement and wrote, “SINGHAM AGAIN my 10th and fastest 100 cr film,” adding, “For the past 16 films one thing that has remained constant is your love, thank you for all the support and love, humbled.”
The film’s ensemble cast, featuring some of Bollywood’s biggest names like Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Arjun Kapoor, helped drive its widespread appeal. While the star power is undoubtedly a major draw, Singham Again is also resonating with audiences due to its compelling narrative and action sequences. Ajay Devgn returns as the iconic Bajirao Singham, while Ranveer Singh brings his trademark comedic energy, balancing the intensity of the film with humor. Arjun Kapoor’s portrayal of the villain has been getting praise for adding layers to the movie’s drama, and the surprise cameo by Salman Khan has further piqued audience interest.
Despite facing tough competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, another major Diwali release starring Kartik Aaryan and Madhuri Dixit, Singham Again has emerged victorious at the box office, earning Rs 43.70 crore on its opening day, leaving its rival film behind at Rs 36.60 crore. This demonstrates the lasting appeal of Shetty’s cop universe and the audience’s eagerness for his signature blend of action and entertainment.
With this achievement, Shetty has once again proven that his films are box-office juggernauts, especially during festive seasons like Diwali. The continued success of the Singham franchise shows that the audience still craves the adrenaline rush of his larger-than-life cop stories.
