Mastiii 4 Box Office Collection: Comedy franchise struggles with flat trend; Collects estimated Rs 8.5 crore in opening weekend
The fourth installment of the popular adult-comedy franchise sees no growth on Saturday, signaling a tough road ahead. Mastiii 4, bringing back the infamous trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, has completed its first weekend at the box office. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film relies heavily on nostalgia and slapstick humor, but the opening numbers suggest the genre is facing fatigue among the audience. The film opened on Friday with ₹ 2.25 Cr, a strictly average start. Ideally, mass comedies see a significant jump on Saturday. However, concerningly, Mastiii 4 remained completely flat on Day 2, earning the exact same figure of ₹ 2.75 Cr. This lack of growth indicates that word-of-mouth has been mixed to negative. According to early rough data, the film showed a marginal uptick on Sunday, collecting approximately ₹ 3 Cr. This brings the estimated 3-day domestic net total to roughly ₹ 8.5 Cr. The film is facing a "double whammy" at the ticket windows. It is competing for screens against the holdover hit De De Pyaar De 2 (which appeals to a similar comedy-loving audience) and the newly released war drama 120 Bahadur, which saw better growth over the weekend. While the chemistry of the lead trio remains the film's USP, critics have pointed out the repetitive nature of the humor, which seems to be reflecting in the stagnant collections.
