Breaking Records
Michael has now officially become the highest-grossing Hollywood release in India for the month of April. It achieved this milestone by overtaking the previous record held by Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which had grossed approximately ₹23 crore.
Competitive Landscape
Despite strong competition from domestic Bollywood hits, Michael is holding its own:
-
Vs. Dhurandhar 2: The biopic outperformed the Ranveer Singh-starrer, which brought in ₹1.55 crore on Tuesday.
-
Vs. Bhooth Bangla: While Michael is trending upward, Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla remains the top daily earner, pulling in an impressive ₹6.49 crore on Tuesday.
With strong word-of-mouth and no major Hollywood competition for the remainder of the month, Michael is expected to continue its record-breaking streak in the coming week.
