Total: ₹ 55.13 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice. #Shaitaan has scored across the board: from metros to Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres, from plexes to single screens… Most importantly, the mass pockets have embraced the film… An indicator that #Shaitaan is sure to enjoy a successful innings. All eyes on the crucial Monday [Day 4] number.”Additionally, Shaitaan's first weekend earnings overseas came to Rs. 15.26 crore (USD 1.86 million), bringing its total weekend gross collection to Rs. 80.31 crore (USD 9.80 million). This is Ajay Devgn's second-highest international debut.
