Key Highlight
  • Shaitaan has sold 26000 tickets in national chains a day, 1.25 days prior to release day
  • Shaitaan looks to take a double digit opening based on early booking trends
  • Shaitaan releases at a theatre near you on the 8th of March, 2024

Shaitaan directed by Vikas Bahl and starring Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Jyothika and Janki Bodiwala among others has maintained a good advance booking trajectory and is set to take a double digit opening. The film has sold 26000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis and the bookings outside top national chains is also pretty good. Last Mahashivratri, Ajay Devgn's own film Bholaa had sold around 36000 tickets in PVRInox and Cinepolis in final advance and Shaitaan looks to atleast double it up.

Shaitaan Has Sold Around 26000 Tickets In National Chains For Opening Day 1.25 Days Prior To Release Day

While the advances would be double, the on-the-day movement won't be in ratio since Bholaa was much more mass appealing than Shaitaan is. Regardless, an opening of around Rs 12-13 crores seems pretty much out there. For the costs involved and considering the post-pandemic theatrical scenario, this would be considered a very solid opening and even a normal trend on the days to follow will be enough for the Ajay Devgn horror-drama to emerge a hit. 

Shaitaan Is A Smartly Planned Film. Know How

Shaitaan has its costs in check. The movie was shot in just around 40 days and not too lavishly or extravagantly. The controlled budget aside, there will be money coming to producers in the form of UK-subsidy as well. The non-theatrical revenue more than cover the cost of production and the print and advertising expenses, and the surplus amount, clubbed with worldwide theatricals will be shared between Ajay Devgn, Devgn Films and Panorama Films in their pre-decided ratio.
