 "Malang, Aditya Roy Kapur's film makes Rs. 25.36 cr at box office; Shikara collects Rs. 4.95 cr in opening weekend")
_Malang_ , the Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani-starrer that hit the theatres on 7 February along with Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Shikara, recorded a decent weekend, collecting a total of Rs 25.36 crore at the box office. According to a tweet by leading film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film did well on the second and third day following its release but failed to jump higher on Sunday.
#Malang records decent weekend... Witnesses growth on Day 2 and 3, but jump on Day 3 is missing... Multiplexes improve... Mass circuits fair... Important to maintain the momentum on weekdays... Fri 6.71 cr, Sat 8.89 cr, Sun 9.76 cr. Total: ₹ 25.36 cr. #India biz.

However, Malang has become Kapur’s highest grossing film over the opening weekend that features the actor in a solo lead, while Aashiqui 2 comes a close second with a collection of ₹20.50 crore. Directed by Mohit Suri, Malang is way ahead of _Shikara_ and Vikram Bhatt’s Hacked.

For its part, Shikara, that revolves around the story of Kashmiri Pandits, has witnessed a low turnout at the box office over the weekend, with a gross Rs 4.95 crore.
Starring two newcomers, Sadia and Aadil Khan, the film narrates the story of a Kashmiri Pandit couple that flees the valley in 1990.
#Shikara witnesses growth, but the 3-day total is low... Should’ve doubled its Day 1 number on Day 3... Needs to stay strong on weekdays - in Day 1 range or thereabouts - to score a respectable Week 1 total... Fri 1.20 cr, Sat 1.85 cr, Sun 1.90 cr. Total: ₹ 4.95 cr. #India biz.

Even as Malang and Shikara face a lukewarm response, _Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior_ continues to soar in its fifth weekend with its lifetime collection likely to challenge the performance of Kabir Singh at the theatres. Ajay Devgn’s story of the hero of the battle at Sinhagad has made a total of Rs 266.88 crore, recording a whooping Rs 7.36 crore in its fifth week alone.
#Tanhaji is a lottery... Solid trending in Weekend 5... Likely to challenge *lifetime biz* of #KabirSingh... Difficult to guesstimate *lifetime biz* of #Tanhaji, since it refuses to slow down... [Week 5] Fri 1.15 cr, Sat 2.76 cr, Sun 3.45 cr. Total: ₹ 266.88 cr. #India biz.

#JawaaniJaaneman continues to collect at select metros... Slightly better than #Baazaar [total after Weekend 2: ₹ 22.52 cr], but that’s not saying much... Contribution from mass sector is poor... [Week 2] Fri 1.04 cr, Sat 1.58 cr, Sun 1.67 cr. Total: ₹ 24.50 cr. #India biz.
