Box office: Tiger Shroff's 'Baaghi 3' earns Rs. 33 crore

Even as Baaghi 3 opened to poor reviews, it collected a massive Rs. 17.5 crore on its release day, i.e., Friday.

However, on Saturday, it witnessed a slight drop in its ticket sales and managed to collect Rs. 15.5 crore.

This takes the movie's total two-day collection to Rs. 33 crore.

It can be expected to cross the Rs. 50 crore mark by Sunday.

Baaghi 3 is now the biggest Bollywood opener of 2020. On Friday, it beat out other major releases of this year, such as Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (first-day collection: Rs. 15.10 crore), Love Aaj Kal (Rs. 12 crore), and Street Dancer 3D (Rs. 9.5 crore).

Meanwhile, the movie also marks Tiger's third-highest opener, after War (2019) and Baaghi 2 (2018).

Directed by Ahmed Khan, Baaghi 3 is the latest installment in Sajid Nadiadwala's money-magnet franchise.

In the movie, Tiger reprises his role as the perennially enraged Ronnie, who this time sets out on a mission to rescue his kidnapped brother Vikram (played by Riteish Deshmukh) from war-torn Syria.

It also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Ankita Lokhande, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Varma.

While Baaghi 3 has garnered praise for its adrenaline-pumped action scenes, it received flak for its poor screenplay and underwhelming performances.

In our review of the movie, we wrote, "It would be both unfair and unwise to expect a lot from a movie like Baaghi 3... It is just your regular dose of escapist filmmaking and popcorn entertainment, but it works, albeit mildly."
