The Saturday at the India Box Office was buzzing. The top 3 films namely Shaitaan, Yodha and Kung Fu Panda 4 added around Rs 19 crores and this number will go past Rs 20 crores on Sunday. Shaitaan remained the most preferred movie option for Indian moviegoers while Yodha and Kung Fu Panda 4 settled for the 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Yodha Grows By 40 Percent And Collects Rs 5.75 Crores Nett On Day 2

Yodha saw a 40 percent growth from Friday on Saturday as it collected around Rs 5.75 crores and this brings its 2 day total to Rs 9.85 crores. The movie should have a weekend of around Rs 16 crores and then it will all be about how it holds up over the weekdays. The growth of 40 percent is low since the opening was quite less to begin with and also the buy one get one offer was introduced which should have led to a much higher growth and much better collections. Regardless, like most Dharma films, Yodha is also been fortunate to get very juicy non-theatrical deals.
