Box Office Collection: 'Jolly LLB 3' crosses Rs 50 crore in three days, 'Nishanchi' and 'Ajay' lag far behind..

This week, several big and popular films hit the box office. Three films released on Friday: Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's "Jolly LLB 3," Anurag Kashyap's "Nishanchi," and the biopic on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, "Ajay: The Untold Story of a Yogi." The already-running "Mirai," the Japanese anime "Demon Slayer," and the powerful South Indian film "Loka Chapter 1" also captivated audiences. Let's take a look at each film's earnings over the weekend and which ones failed to meet expectations.

Jolly LLB 3

Audiences had been waiting for this film for a long time, and upon its release, it received a tremendous response in theaters. After opening with approximately ₹12 crore on its first day, the film's momentum picked up on Saturday, reaching ₹20 crore. Audiences embraced the courtroom drama on Sunday, earning approximately ₹21 crore. In just three days, the film collected a whopping ₹53.50 crore (approximately $5.35 billion). The pairing of Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi not only won the courtroom but also the box office.

Sniper

Anurag Kashyap's film was expected to be a big surprise, but it had a weak opening. "Nishanchi," which earned just ₹2.5 million on Friday, saw a slight increase on Saturday, earning ₹3.9 million (approximately $3.9 million). The situation worsened further on Sunday, with collections dropping to ₹2.1 million (approximately $2.1 million). Overall, the film grossed only ₹8.5 million (approximately $8.5 million) in three days. Aishwarya Thackeray's debut failed to impress audiences.

Ajay

The makers were also hoping for a strong start with this film based on the life of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. However, the first day's collection was limited to ₹2.5 million (approximately $2.27 million). With a slight increase on Saturday, the film earned ₹3.276 million (approximately $5 million) and crossed the ₹5 million mark on Sunday. "Ajay" has grossed ₹1.18 crore (approximately $1.18 billion) in three days. The character of Yogi, played by Anant Joshi, is in the news, but it hasn't had a significant impact on the box office.

Mirai

Teja Sajja's film "Mirai" is performing well for the second consecutive week. The film earned ₹5.15 crore on Saturday and ₹5.75 crore on Sunday. The total collection has now crossed ₹78.75 crore. Audiences seem to be quite impressed with the film's visual effects and story.

Demon Slayer
Japanese anime films' efforts to establish a significant presence at the Indian box office have paid off. While there was a decline in the second week, the film gained momentum over the weekend. Earning ₹3.25 crore on Saturday and ₹4 crore on Sunday, "Demon Slayer"'s total collection reached ₹62.46 crore. This figure is considered a major success for an anime film in India.

Loca Chapter 1
This South Indian film has surpassed other films at the box office. After earning 3.15 crore rupees on Saturday and 4 crore rupees on Sunday, the total collection has reached 137.75 crore rupees. Kalyani Priyadarshan's strong performance and the storyline played a key role in attracting audiences to theaters.
