Ek Villain Returns had a fair start at the box office especially outside the high end premium multiplexes. The advance of the film was not started till Wednesday afternoon and it clocked up a healthy 1.50 crore nett in one and a half days and that momentum has continued in the morning.

The film is a sequel of the 2014 film Ek Villain which did very well at the box office especially initially with a huge opening day of 16.50 crore nett but those were different days and the product has not really gone up another level in terms of production values or starcast or the biggest selling point of the first film which was music.

Still Ek Villain 2 has decent music and other elements to get some crowds to the theatres and then its on the film. This is looking at it from the prospective of the present time as the numbers are not coming and if this film can get a 6 crore nett or higher number which is very much possible then its a result for the film and also some better news for the film industry.

There was another dubbed film Vikant Rona which released a day earlier on Thursday but it could do much in Hindi though it did good numbers in Karnataka which may turn out to be second best there after KGF 2 but well behind the 20 crore nett that KGF 2 did in Karnataka. The all India opening is this film looks to be in the 17 crore nett range thanks to the very good numbers in Karnataka
