Actor-filmmaker Kunal Kemmu’s latest action-comedy VIBE witnessed a positive upward trend at the domestic box office on its second day. After a promising Friday, strong word of mouth and positive reviews have translated into growing momentum at the box office as the film surpassed projections on Saturday with 2.8 Cr NBOC in India, taking its two-day worldwide gross past 7 Cr. Despite the quiet start, the film managed to pull ahead of competing releases like Ek Din and Main Vaapas Aaunga, both of which opened at Rs 1.15 crore each on their respective release days.
The action-comedy faces direct competition at the theatrical box office from Meghna Gulzar’s crime thriller Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, which landed in cinemas on the same day. Both films enter a crowded marketplace with multiple titles vying for screen space and audience footfalls.
Building on its opening day business, the thriller has now brought its total India net collections to Rs 2.60 crore, with its total India gross collections standing at Rs 3.10 crore so far. Facing direct theatrical competition from Kunal Kemmu’s action-comedy VIBE, the film continues to hold its ground across key urban centers.
