Ram Setu and Thank God First Day Collections

Mumbai, October 26 - The big Diwali releases "Ram Setu" starring Akshay Kumar, and "Thank God" starring Ajay Devgn and Siddharth Malhotra released yesterday and both films took low openings in the morning despite the advantage of a huge all-India holiday.

Ram Setu started getting good audience post the morning shows thanks to excellent walk-ins in mass markets. It collected 15.10 crores net box office collections on the first day and emerged as the biggest Akshay Kumar opener of 2022 beating Bachchan Pandey.

Thank God, on the other hand, struggled to get audiences and as a result, the film only managed to collect 8.10 crores net box office collections which is a low number on post-Diwali day. The film has seen a good collection in the same circuits where comedy genre films tend to do well.

Overall both Ram Setu and Thank God failed to beat last year's Diwali release Sooryavanshi which co-incidentally starred Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. Sooryavanshi collected 26.29cr despite the 50% occupancy rule in Maharashtra and the combined collections of Ram Setu and Thank God are 23.35cr which is almost 3cr less than Sooryavanshi.

The main reason why the combined collections of Ram Setu and Thank God failed to beat Sooryavanshi is the fact that both Ram Setu and Thank God were not event films like Sooryavanshi so there was not much interest among the public to watch the film initially.
