Vibe’s Saturday performance was a quiet riot. It added ₹2.65 crore to its net, a 55.9% jump from Friday, and pulled in a staggering 32.69% at night shows – a figure that would make any distributor blush.
Daayra, meanwhile, trudged along with a modest ₹1.60 crore haul, totalling ₹3.10 crore over two days. Its occupancy hovered around 20%, with Bengaluru giving it a brief 45.3% spike, but the overall numbers lagged behind Khemu’s juggernaut.
The contrast is stark: Khemu not only wrote, produced, and directed Vibe, but also stars alongside Preity Zinta and a debutant Vanshika Dhir, weaving action, comedy, and thriller into a single narrative. In contrast, ‘Daayra’ is a Meghna Gulzar crime study starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor Khan – a star‑studded cast that still couldn’t lift the film past the ₹3 crore mark.
What’s next? If Vibe keeps its momentum, we may see a second wave of releases from Khemu, possibly a sequel or a new genre experiment. For ‘Daayra’, the 60% jump on Saturday suggests a late‑week revival may be possible, but the film’s low occupancy indicates it’s fighting a uphill battle. Either way, the box‑office battle of Day Two proves that a fresh, multi‑talent approach can punch above its weight in a crowded market.
