As the second weekend approaches, ‘Crew’ is expected to pick up pace once again, especially with no major releases in sight. However, it will soon face competition from upcoming films like Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ and Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidaan’, both set to release on April 10. The makers anticipate ‘Crew’ to cross the Rs 100 crore mark globally before these releases. Currently, the film has achieved a gross collection of Rs 82.58 crore worldwide, as shared by the makers on social media, “Our Crew continues their box office ascent! (sic).”
Despite ‘Crew’s’ successful run, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Malayalam drama ‘Aadujeevitham’ has managed to outperform it at the box office. Released a day ahead of ‘Crew’, ‘Aadujeevitham’ earned Rs 3.25 crore on Thursday, bringing its total net domestic earnings to Rs 47.10 crore.
