Karan Johar and Guneet Monga’s latest action thriller, Kill, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt, has made a strong debut in the Indian box office. Starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Tanya Maniktala, the film marks Lakshya’s notable entry into the film industry.
The success of Kill can be attributed to its gripping action scenes and positive word-of-mouth among audiences. As the sole release last week, after Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha was postponed at the request of distributors and exhibitors, Kill faced competition from the highly anticipated nationwide release of Kalki 2898 AD.
Despite this, the film showed significant growth over the weekend and maintained steady performance through the weekdays.
Kill BO Collections Rise On Second Saturday Amid Competition With Other Releases
On its opening day, Friday, Kill earned Rs 1.35 crore. The film saw a substantial 60% increase in earnings on Saturday, collecting Rs 2.20 crore. Sunday brought marginal growth, with earnings of Rs 2.70 crore, bringing the three-day weekend total to Rs 6.25 crore nett in India.
The momentum continued into the weekdays, with Kill earning Rs 1.30 crore on Monday, nearly matching its opening day figures. The film maintained audience interest, bringing in Rs 1.35 crore on Tuesday and Rs 1.24 crore on Wednesday. This consistent performance resulted in a six-day total of Rs 10.14 crore nett.
Ending its first week strong, Kill earned Rs 1.22 crore on day 7, reaching a total collection of Rs 11.36 crore in just one week. Despite a drop on Day 8, with collections of Rs 0.80 crore, the film rebounded on Day 9, a weekend holiday, earning Rs 1.43 crore and totalling Rs 13.59 crore nett in nine days.
It’s noteworthy that Kill managed notable growth on weekends despite competition from Kalki 2898 AD and new releases Indian 2 and Sarfira.
