The Brahmastra juggernaut refuses to stop or even slow down. The Ayan Mukerji film capitalized on a strong opening and grew further on day 2, amassing ₹85 crore worldwide on Saturday. This means, the film has taken its total worldwide gross over two days to ₹160 crore, sparking speculations about a possible ₹250 crore weekend. The Hindi version has done very well but it’s the dubbed versions that are springing up surprises with the film managing to create a record in Tamil Nadu on Saturday.

The film was dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada as well, and all four versions are doing well. The Telugu version was expected to do well due to Nagarjuna’s presence in the film and SS Rajamouli having presented the film. But it’s the film’s business in Tamil Nadu that has surprised one and all. As per a report in Sacnilk, Brahmastra did business of ₹1.9 crore in Tamil Nadu on Saturday, which is the highest single-day earning by a Bollywood film in the state, beating War and Thugs of Hindostan. Earlier in the day, a BoxOfficeIndia.com report had stated that the film’s Hindi version has earned ₹66.5 crore in two days in India alone.
