Kunal Kemmu’s action-comedy Vibe has widened its lead over Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Daayra at the end of the opening weekend.
According to Sacnilk, Vibe collected Rs 6.77 crore net in three days, while Daayra collected Rs 3.92 crore net.
Vibe earned Rs 2.32 crore on Sunday, and Daayra earned Rs 1.17 crore.
Both films released on September 18.
The figures are early trade estimates and may be revised.
Trade tracker Sacnilk’s latest live figures put Vibe’s three-day India net collection at Rs 6.77 crore and its gross at Rs 8.08 crore.
Vibe earned Rs 1.70 crore on Friday, Rs 2.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.32 crore on Sunday.
Daayra earned Rs 1 crore on Friday, Rs 1.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 1.17 crore on Sunday, for a three-day India net total of Rs 3.92 crore.
The gross three-day collection for Daayra is put at Rs 4.68 crore.
Both films released on Friday, September 18, and competed for the same audience over the opening weekend.
Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar, stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran and is an investigative crime thriller with a 143-minute runtime.
Vibe is an action-comedy written and directed by Kunal Kemmu, who also stars in the lead role.
The cast of Vibe includes Sparsh Shrivastava, Preity Zinta, Vanshika Dhir, Yashpal Sharma and Dinesh Lal Yadav, also known as Nirahua.
Daayra received largely positive reviews, with ratings between 3.5 and 4 stars from major critics, but its box office opening was described as soft.
Early Saturday estimates had been lower: an afternoon trend put Daayra’s second-day figure at about Rs 64 lakh, before it rose to Rs 1.75 crore in final tallies.
Trade figures for a film’s opening days are estimates that are usually revised when distributors report final numbers.
Both films now enter their first weekdays, when collections typically fall compared with weekend levels.
