Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria's new film Student Of The Year 2 (SOTY2 ) seems to have lost its charm at the box office. The teen-romantic comedy film, made on an estimated budget of Rs 80 crore, has collected Rs 53.88 crore at the ticket counter till now. SOTY 2 hit the screens on May 10 and has now become the ninth highest-grossing Bollywood film of this year.
Produced by Karan Johar, the film had an average opening with an occupancy rate of 20-25 per cent. It went on to earn Rs 12.06 crore on its first day in India. The film earned Rs 38.83 crore in the first three days of its opening weekend. It took a major nosedive on fourth day and made Rs 5.52 crore on Monday. Until Day 5, SOTY 2 had struggled to cross the Rs 50-crore mark.
According to trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh, SOTY 2 is doing well on weekdays but the overall total is underwhelming.
