After
a
long
anticipation,
Rohit
Shetty's
cop
film
Sooryavanshi
released
in
theatres
on
November
5
this
year.
Starring
Akshay
Kumar
and
Katrina
Kaif
in
leading
roles,
the
film
was
the
first
big-ticket
Bollywood
movie
to
get
a
theatrical
release
after
the
COVID-19
restrictions
were
eased
throughout
the
country.
With
the
film
received
a
mixed
response
from
the
critics,
it
registered
a
smashing
opening
of
Rs
26.29
crore
on
its
first
day
on
release
despite
50%
occupancy
in
theatres
in
some
of
the
states.
The
film's
opening
week
box
office
collection
(Rs
120.66
crore)
beat
that
of
Ajay
Devgn-Saif
Ali
Khan's
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
(118.91
crore).
As
per
the
last
box
office
data
available,
Sooryavanshi
minted
a
lifetime
collection
of
Rs
190.37
crore
in
27
days.
Despite
an
impressive
box
office
run,
it
failed
to
enter
the
200
crore
club.

Sooryavanshi
is
currently
streaming
on
Netflix.
Speaking
about
the
film,
director
Rohit
Shetty
had
earlier
said
that
the
blockbuster
success
of
his
latest
film
is
yet
to
sink
in
as
the
movie's
release
was
a
tough
battle
of
19
months,
where
his
team
"fought" the
pandemic,
nationwide
lockdown
and
naysayers
who
thought
no
one
will
step
into
a
cinema
hall
to
watch
his
film.
However,
the
film's
impressive
box
office
numbers
ended
the
dry
spell
at
the
box
office
and
encouraged
other
filmmakers
to
release
their
movies
on
the
big
screen.
