Last Friday saw the release of two starkly different films -- Mohit Suri's Malang, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Shikara. While the former opened at Rs 6.71 crore, the latter earned Rs 1.15 crore on its first day. It was expected the movie would pick pace during the weekend, but latest reports suggest that the collection of both films remained constant.

A Box Office India report said that Malang starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Kunal Kemmu, and Anil Kapoor earned Rs 9-9.25 crore on Sunday, while Shikara's collection was "under Rs 2 crore."

The report further stated, "The weekend business of Malang is around 23.50-24 crore nett which is on the lower side as the growth has not really come through. Shikar was pretty much flat on Sunday which probably means the film is not going anywhere. the collections will be under 2 crore nett on Sunday meaning a weekend of around 4.75 crore nett."

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share Malang's collection of previous day and wrote, "#Malang witnesses substantial growth on Day 2, despite #Delhi having limited screenings... Should score on Day 3 [Sun] as well... Eyes ₹ 24 cr [+/-] weekend - the highest for #AdityaRoyKapur [solo hero films]... Fri 6.71 cr, Sat 8.89 cr. Total: ₹ 15.60 cr. #India biz."

For Shikara, Adarsh wrote, "#Shikara improves on Day 2 [rarity for a film starring newcomers]... Needs to gain ground on Day 3 [Sun]... Also needs to hold on to Day 1 levels on Day 4 [Mon] + trend well on remaining weekdays for a decent total... Fri 1.20 cr, Sat 1.85 cr. Total: ₹ 3.05 cr. #India biz."
