Baaghi Day 1 Box Office Collections: Tiger Shroff is a star

Baaghi has surpassed all expectations on Day 1 at the box office. The film has not only managed to beat Akshay Kumar's Airlift, but has also matched the business of Shah Rukh Khan's FAN in quite a few mass circuits.

The opening is phenomenal when you consider the fact that the film did not have a chartbuster song and Baaghi was Tiger Shroff's second film after Heropanti'. For the kind of opening that Baaghi has managed at mass centres on Day 1, films usually require the presence of an established star or chartbuster music. Baaghi had none, which is why the opening has surprised the trade.

Shraddha Kapoor's presence might have helped the film at smaller centres, because her last few films like Aashiqui 2', Ek Villain' and ABCD 2' have performed well.

Films like Baaghi usually show a drop of around 10% in business on Saturday. But there is tremendous potential for growth at multiplexes in cities, where the occupancy was low on Friday. If business at big cities picks up on Saturday, Baaghi could show some growth, which would mean a very healthy weekend total for the film.

The Sabbir Khan directed film is now looking at weekend business of 35-40 crore, depending on how well it holds up on Saturday.

The industry has a new star in Tiger Shroff. Both his films (Heropanti and Baaghi) have opened well and the actor has also managed to carve a niche for himself in the industry. Among the younger generation of stars, very few can pull off action the way Tiger can and this will be his USP in the years to come.

#IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 9.4 crore as the opening day collections of Baaghi. The film has collected Rs 11.87 crore. The difference between our prediction and the actual collection is 26%. We've had a poor record when it comes to predicting the opening day collections of films starring the younger stars in the industry. Kapoor & Sons, Ki & Ka and Baaghi were all incorrect.
