Student of the Year 2 starring Tiger Shroff and debutantes Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria has opened on a good start, although the film could not become Tiger’s highest opening film with a day one collection of Rs 12.06 crores. The actor’s biggest opener remains Baaghi 2 that opened at a cool Rs 25 crore in 2018.
Student of the Year 2 is the second instalment of the 2012 Karan Johar directed film that launched the careers of Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. SOTY 2 is directed by Punit Malhotra and is produced by KJo under his Dharma Productions banner. The film has received mixed reviews from the critics and has managed to put up a decent total on its first day. However, the weekend collection seems to be crucial.
#StudentOfTheYear2 puts up a fairly good total on Day 1... Biz slowed down towards evening shows... Sat and Sun crucial... Substantial growth - especially at plexes - is essential for a healthy total... Fri 12.06 cr. India biz. #SOTY2 is Tiger’s second highest opener *so far*.
