Baaghi 4 Outperforms The Bengal Files

The latest Bollywood box office clash has seen Tiger Shroff's action-packed film Baaghi 4 emerge as the clear winner, outperforming Vivek Agnihotri's political drama The Bengal Files. Despite mixed reviews and low pre ofrelease hype, Baaghi 4's star power and commercial appeal helped it secure a significant lead in ticket sales. The film collected ₹12 crore on its opening day and ₹9 crore on Saturday, bringing its total two-day collection to ₹21 crore.

In contrast, The Bengal Files had a modest opening, earning ₹1.75 crore on Friday and ₹2.25 crore on Saturday, with a total collection of ₹4 crore. The film's performance was impacted by controversy surrounding its release, particularly in West Bengal, where it allegedly faced an unofficial ban. Director Vivek Agnihotri claimed that pressure was put on theater owners to avoid showing the film, which was supported by an open letter from actress Pallavi Joshi to the President of India.

The success of Baaghi 4 highlights the continued popularity of big-budget action films in India and reinforces Tiger Shroff's position as a bankable star. While The Bengal Files has sparked debate and controversy, its financial performance pales in comparison to Baaghi 4. As the films continue their run, it remains to be seen if The Bengal Files can gain momentum.

Baaghi 4's strong opening and sustained performance have solidified its position as a major draw for audiences seeking high octane action. The film's dominance at the box office is a testament to the well established Baaghi franchise, which has a strong track record of commercial success. With its impressive box office numbers, Baaghi 4 has undoubtedly won the first round of this cinematic showdown.
