Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha’s new movie Tevar opened in India on a Friday. It was shown on about 3,000 screens. The film also has Manoj Bajpayee in an important role.
Opening Day Earnings
On the first day, Tevar earned 7.05 crore rupees. A crore is ten million, so that is about seventy million rupees. The money came from people buying tickets in theatres.
The opening day was called a “lukewarm start.” That means the money was not as high as many hoped. Some reviewers gave the film mixed reviews, which can affect how many people go to see it.
Second Day Performance
On Saturday, the film earned a little more. It made 7.70 crore rupees in India. Adding the two days together, Tevar collected about 14 crore rupees.
Industry website Koimoi reported these numbers. The higher amount on the second day shows that some people heard about the film after the first day and decided to watch it.
How This compares to Other Movies
Arjun Kapoor’s earlier movie 2 States earned 38 crore rupees at the box office. That was a big success.
Sonakshi Sinha’s previous film Action Jackson had a budget of 80 crore rupees but did not earn enough to cover that cost. It was called a box‑office disaster.
Compared to those movies, Tevar’s start is modest. It is not as high as 2 States, but it is better than a total loss like Action Jackson.
Competition from Other Films
When Tevar opened, it had to share screens with Aamir Khan’s movie PK. PK was released at Christmas and was still earning money in theatres.
Because PK was still popular, some people chose to watch it instead of Tevar. This competition can lower the amount of money a new film makes.
Even with this competition, Tevar still earned 14 crore in two days, which shows that many fans of Arjun and Sonakshi went to see it.
What the Numbers Mean
Box‑office numbers tell us how many people liked a film enough to pay for a ticket. They also help producers decide if a film is a financial success.
For a film released on 3,000 screens, earning 14 crore in two days means an average of about 4,666 rupees per screen per day. That is a simple way to see how busy each theatre was.
Industry experts often look at the third day, usually Sunday, to see if the film will keep earning more. A strong Sunday can push the total higher.
If Tevar keeps earning similar amounts, it could reach 30 crore or more in the first week. That would be a decent result for a mid‑budget film.
How to Read Box‑Office Reports
- Day‑wise collection: Shows how much money the film made each day.
- Net vs. gross: Net is the amount after taxes; gross is the total before taxes.
- Screen count: More screens can mean higher earnings, but only if seats are filled.
- Competition: Other popular movies can affect a film’s earnings.
Understanding these points helps you see why a film may earn more or less than expected.
FAQ
What does “crore” mean?
A crore equals ten million. So 14 crore rupees is 140 million rupees.
Why did Tevar earn more on the second day?
People heard mixed reviews on the first day, and some decided to watch it later. Word of mouth can boost earnings.
Is 14 crore a good start for a new film?
It is a moderate start. Big blockbusters earn much more, but for a film with a mid‑range budget, 14 crore in two days is respectable.
Will Tevar beat PK at the box office?
PK has already earned a huge amount and continues to run. It is unlikely Tevar will surpass PK’s total, but it can still be a success on its own.
Conclusion
Tevar’s opening shows a steady start with 7.05 crore on day one and 7.70 crore on day two, totaling 14 crore. The film faces strong competition from PK and carries the legacy of its stars’ past movies. Watching the numbers over the next few days will tell if the film can grow into a solid hit.
