Street Dancer 3D box office collection day 3: Varun Dhawan starrer witnesses upswing, earns this much

Street Dancer 3D box office collection day 3: Word-of-mouth effect has come into play again as Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor starrer has witnessed an upswing in its box office collection over the weekend. The film almost doubled its collection from Rs 10.26 crore on first day to Rs 17.76 crore on Sunday. Street Dancer 3D's box office collections were aided by Republic Day Holiday as the film continues to do well in mass belts.

Despite its box office clash with Kangana Ranaut's Panga, Street Dancer 3D has managed to earn Rs 41.23 crore by the end of opening weekend. It faces a crucial week ahead and needs to maintain the pace, believes movie critic, business analyst and influencer Taran Adarsh.

"#StreetDancer3D puts up a healthy total in its weekend... Saw an upswing on Day 3, aided by #RepublicDay holiday... Strong in mass belt... Needs to maintain the pace on weekdays... Fri 10.26 cr, Sat 13.21 cr, Sun 17.76 cr. Total: ₹ 41.23 cr. #India biz," he tweeted.

Meanwhile, Panga has failed to live up to expectations despite excellent reviews and strong star cast. Even though the film saw a jump in its collections on Sunday, it has managed to rake in just Rs 14.91 crore by the end of first weekend. The Kangana Ranaut starrer minted Rs 6.60 crore on Sunday.

"#Panga fares below expectations, despite glowing word of mouth... Biz escalated on Day 2, but the jump was missing on Day 3 [#RepublicDay]... Needs to trend very strongly on weekdays for a firm footing... Fri 2.70 cr, Sat 5.61 cr, Sun 6.60 cr. Total: ₹ 14.91 cr. #India biz," Adarsh tweeted.

Both the films also face competition from Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Hollywood biggie 1917.
