Box Office: Shaitaan Second Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 9 - After a very good start at the box office with close to 15 crores net, Ajay Devgn-fronted supernatural thriller Shaitaan jumps by over 20% on Saturday which is again a very good result for a thriller genre, backed by positive word of mouth.

On its second day/first Saturday, Shaitaan scored an estimated 18-19 crores net collection, pushing the total to around 33 crores net in two days. The first weekend is heading to be around 55 crores which is a fantastic collection.



The jump of over 20% today is quite impressive as it came after a partial holiday on the film's first day due to Maha Shivratri which boasted the collection. The thriller genre is something which lacks ground in mass centres but here, the Ajay Devgn factor is working wonderfully and the movie is also doing well outside multiplexes.

The longevity of Shaitaan lies on its Monday hold but early signs are promising and in all probability, the movie is up for a very good ride at the box office. The 100 crores net club will be the minimum target for the movie.

Meanwhile, Yami Gautam-fronted political thriller Article 370 sees a big jump of over 60% on its 3rd Saturday for an estimated 2.50-2.75 crores net. The total collection of the movie stands at 62+ crores after 16 days.
