Baaghi 4 has taken a good opening at the box office. The signs were there when the teaser was out and at that point in time, anything around Rs. 8 crores seemed possible. Then came the trailer and there were good indications of a double digit opening. However, it was the advance booking trend that not just sealed the deal for an opening of more than Rs. 10 crores but also took it into a zone where Rs. 12-14 crores seemed possible.
This is what happened as well as Rs. 13.20 crores came in. This is a good start for the film as first and foremost it’s an A certificate film and secondly, the kind of violence which is there in it, it’s primarily catering to hardcore masses. Moreover, Tiger Shroff is back after a hiatus as a solo lead and hence the need of the hour was for at least a reasonably good opening to come in so that momentum can be built over rest of the weekend.
This is what this Sajid Nadiadwala franchise would be aiming for as well with today and tomorrow expected to grow further. While it’s a given that the weekend numbers will cross Rs. 40 crores mark, anything around Rs. 45 crores would be promising. This one is a biggie and with an open Friday ahead, good word of mouth will ensure that it continues to collect uninterrupted for two weeks.
