It will be crossing the Rs. 300 crores mark on Saturday and by Sunday it will be nearing Rs. 350 crores.
The best performance for the film has come in North America, grossing $5.70 million in the first week. The final number here can reach $9 million, which will be the fourth highest ever for a Bollywood film just behind Dangal, Padmaavat and PK. Australia is the next best, collecting A$1.23 million in seven days, expected to reach the top five biggest grossers from Bollywood there.
The biggest underperformance for the film has come in the Middle East. The final overseas number for the Brahmastra looks like will be $15-16 million as compared to $19 million approx for Sanju without Pakistan. The difference between the two will mainly come to the shortfall in the Middle East, while Sanju grossed $4.80 million there, Brahmastra will be struggling to reach half of that.
