The first weekend of September was a busy time for Bollywood. Three new films, “Baaghi 4,” “The Bengal Files,” and “Ufff Yeh Siyapaa,” were released on Friday, September 5. The box office results for these films have been very different.
Bollywood Box Office Collection(Hindi) Report
Tiger Shroff’s action film “Baaghi 4” has done decent business. On the other hand, Vivek Agnihotri’s political drama “The Bengal Files” has had a slow but steady start. And the comedy film “Ufff Yeh Siyapaa” has not performed well at all.
Baaghi 4 Box Office Collection: Crosses ₹30 Crore, but Not a Blockbuster Start
Tiger Shroff’s “Baaghi 4” was the most-awaited film of the weekend. The film had a strong opening on Friday, earning around ₹12 crore.
This was a good start. But the film faced tough competition from “The Conjuring: Last Rites.” “The Conjuring” had a huge opening and made more money than “Baaghi 4” on Friday. This surprised many people in the film business.
The collections for “Baaghi 4” then saw a dip on Saturday. The film made around ₹9.25 crore on its second day. This drop was a bit of a concern. Usually, films see a jump in collections on the weekend. The drop might have happened because of the Ganpati Visarjan festival in some parts of the country.
On Sunday, the collections went up slightly to ₹10 crore. This helped the film cross the ₹30 crore mark. The total collection for “Baaghi 4” in its first three days is approximately ₹31.25 crore.
While this number is respectable, it is the lowest for any film in the “Baaghi” franchise. “Baaghi 3” had a first-weekend collection of ₹53 crore, and “Baaghi 2” earned a massive ₹71.1 crore.
Even the first “Baaghi” film did better business with ₹38.5 crore. This shows that the movie has not met the high expectations.
The mixed reviews for “Baaghi 4” have also affected its performance. Some people have loved Tiger Shroff’s action scenes and stunts. They feel the film is a complete entertainer. But many critics have said that the story is weak.
They feel the action scenes are repetitive. This mixed feedback has stopped the film from becoming a big hit. The film also got an ‘A’ certificate, which might have reduced the number of younger audience members who are a big part of Tiger Shroff’s fan base.
The Bengal Files Box Office Collection: A Slow but Promising Start
“The Bengal Files,” directed by Vivek Agnihotri, had a very different opening. The film did not have a big star cast. It is a political drama based on historical events.
The film’s first day collection was low, at around ₹1.75 crore. This was not a surprise, as these kinds of films usually do not have a big opening.
However, the film showed a positive trend over the weekend. On Saturday, it earned around ₹2.15 crore. On Sunday, the collections increased again to about ₹2.75 crore. This showed that the film was getting good reviews from the audience. This positive word-of-mouth is very important for films like “The Bengal Files.”
The total collection for the film in its first weekend is ₹6.65 crore. While this number is much lower than “Baaghi 4,” the film’s steady growth is a very good sign.
The film also faced some controversy. Vivek Agnihotri claimed that “The Bengal Files” was facing an “unofficial ban” in West Bengal. He said that theater owners were being pressured not to screen the film. He appealed to the audience to go and watch the film. This controversy might have also created some curiosity among people and helped the film.
Ufff Yeh Siyapaa Box Office Collection: A Big Disappointment
The third film to release this weekend was “Ufff Yeh Siyapaa.” This comedy film was directed by G. Ashok. The film stars Sohum Shah, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Nora Fatehi. The film was marketed as a silent comedy with music by A.R. Rahman.
The film had a very bad start at the box office. It earned very little money in its first weekend. The collections were so low that the film is already being called a flop. The exact collection numbers are not available, but reports suggest it is under ₹1 crore.

The film received very bad reviews from most critics. They said that the film was not funny and the story was very weak. The lack of dialogue did not work for the audience. The film’s poor performance shows that having popular actors and a famous music director is not enough to make a movie successful. The film needs a good story to attract an audience.
