The three new Bollywood releases of the week - ‘1921’, ‘Kaalakaandi’ and ‘Mukkabaaz’ - are looking at Rs 3 crore between them on their opening day, despite being released in over 3000 screens, according to Box Office India. As per reports, Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai is outpacing the new entrants even in its fourth week. The action sequel will cross Rs 320 crore this weekend, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Leading the pack of new releases was Zareen Khan-Karan Kundra-starrer, 1921, a sequel to the horror film 1920. The film earned approximately Rs 1.5 crore on Friday. Saif Ali Khan’s abysmal box office form continued with Kaalakaandi making Rs 1 crore. Saif’s two previous movies, Rangoon and Chef, also bombed at the box office. Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap’s boxing drama, Mukkabaaz, could only manage Rs 75 lakh. It should be noted that both Kaalakandi and Mukkabaaz had positive reviews in their favour.

When Salman Khan's release movie Tubelight opened to a dull response and ultimately turned out to be a flop, many started writing him off. His mega stardom was questioned, his box office pull was under scrutiny. Come December 22, 2018 and everyone had to eat their words. The release of Tiger Zinda Hai proved that the fate of Tubelight was just one of the things and it hasn't affected his stardom even a bit. It's been 23 days since the release of the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial and it refuses to slow down.
