March 9, 2024Shaitaan Takes Box Office by Storm!
Ajay Devgn’s new movie, Shaitaan, has had a fantastic opening day at the Indian box office! Early estimates suggest it made somewhere between 14.25 and 15.5 crores (approximately $1.7 – $1.8 million) on its first day. This is a big surprise, as the horror thriller movie has done much better than anyone expected.
The biggest movie theater chains in India are expected to bring in a whopping 7.25 crores (around $870,000) for Shaitaan, which is about half of the movie’s total earnings so far!

People everywhere seem to be enjoying Shaitaan, from big cities to smaller towns. Reviews from moviegoers who’ve already seen it are very positive. The movie did best in Mumbai, followed by places like Central India, CP Berar, and Rajasthan.
Experts predict that Shaitaan could make a total of 55 crores (around $6.6 million) by the end of its opening weekend. Positive word-of-mouth from moviegoers suggests it could be a long-lasting hit at the box office.
Before the release, Shaitaan wasn’t expected to do that well. But things changed when the exciting trailer came out two weeks before the movie hit theaters. This is a big deal because Ajay Devgn, a really popular actor, doesn’t usually star in horror movies.
Thankfully, Shaitaan isn’t too scary for younger viewers either. This means the whole family can enjoy it, which could help the movie stay popular for a long time.
The movie’s strong opening was helped by the Maha Shivratri holiday in some parts of India. Now, everyone’s waiting to see how much money it makes this weekend!
