The blockbuster Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty and starring Ajay Devgn, continues to maintain a presence at the box office on its 33rd day of release. Despite entering its fifth week with dwindling daily collections, the film has proven its staying power, both in India and overseas, as it edges closer to wrapping up its theatrical run.
Day 33 Earnings and Total Collections
On its 33rd day, Singham Again managed to collect approximately ₹0.30 crore in India. This brings its total domestic nett earnings to an estimated ₹265.65 crore. The film’s gross domestic collection has crossed ₹312.91 crore, bolstered by its international performance, which has added ₹73.19 crore, leading to a worldwide gross of ₹386.1 crore.
The action-drama opened to staggering numbers in its first week, with a collection of ₹186.60 crore. However, its earnings have gradually declined as competition increased from new releases and audience interest waned. The fourth week concluded with a modest total of ₹6.25 crore, marking a sharp contrast from its explosive opening week.

Star Power and Audience Appeal
Singham Again benefited immensely from its ensemble cast, featuring Ajay Devgn as the iconic Bajirao Singham, alongside Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone. Their collective star power drew fans in large numbers during the initial weeks. Directed by Rohit Shetty, known for his high-octane action films and successful franchises, the movie’s over-the-top action sequences and patriotic undertones resonated particularly well with audiences in tier-2 and rural markets.
The film capitalized on the goodwill of the Singham franchise and the broader “Rohit Shetty Cop Universe.” Its festive Diwali release gave it an added advantage, with many fans flocking to cinemas during the holiday season.
Challenges at the Box Office
Despite its success, Singham Again faced several challenges in sustaining its momentum. By the second week, competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 began to erode its market share, particularly in urban centers. Additionally, regional circuits such as Bihar and Rajasthan, where the movie initially performed well, saw significant drops in collections as audiences shifted their focus to other films.
The film’s fourth week marked a notable decline, with daily earnings averaging less than ₹0.50 crore. This decline reflects the natural lifecycle of a blockbuster, particularly one with limited novelty after its initial run.
Worldwide Reception
Globally, Singham Again has performed admirably, earning a significant portion of its total gross from overseas markets. The film’s robust international appeal stems from its universal themes of justice and patriotism, along with its star-studded cast, which includes Bollywood stalwarts and crowd-pullers.
In key markets such as the UAE, North America, and the UK, the film continued to attract audiences, albeit at a slower pace in its later weeks. Its total overseas gross stands at ₹73.19 crore, contributing significantly to its worldwide gross of ₹386.1 crore.
What Lies Ahead for Singham Again?
With its theatrical run nearing its end, Singham Again is expected to conclude with a lifetime domestic nett of around ₹270 crore. While this solidifies its position as one of the highest-grossing films of 2024, it may not surpass the lifetime collections of other contenders released earlier this year.
The film’s availability on OTT platforms is likely to sustain its visibility and appeal among fans who missed it in theaters. Furthermore, its success reinforces the viability of multi-starrer franchise films in Bollywood’s evolving box office landscape.
Singham Again has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on Bollywood’s 2024 slate, further cementing Rohit Shetty’s reputation as a master of the commercial blockbuster.
