Student of the Year 2 box office collection Day 5: The Karan Johar production to witness drastic drop

Student of the Year 2 box office collection Day 5: Karan Johar's SOTY 2, starring Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria, continues to do decent business at the box office.

Despite facing the might of Avengers: Endgame, Tiger Shroff starrer Student of the Year is managing to stay afloat at the box office. The Punit Malhotra directorial, which is a sequel to the 2012 film Student of the Year, is also the launchpad for Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria. Produced by Karan Johar, SOTY 2 has managed to collect Rs 44.35 crore until now.

The film opened last weekend and managed to earn Rs 12.06 crore on Friday, Rs 14.02 crore on Saturday and Rs 12.75 crore on Sunday. However due to tough competition from Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, it needs to be seen how far can SOTY 2 manage to hold ground. Endgame is by far the most successful Hollywood movie in India and has crossed the Rs 300 crore mark here.

The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the Karan Johar production venture 1.5 stars. She wrote in her review, “SOTY 2 is a sequel to the first 2012 edition, and it doesn’t even bother refreshing the template: everything is dispiritedly familiar. And that is precisely the problem: despite the presence of singing-dancing-fighting hotstar Tiger Shroff, two brand new female leads, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday, and a whole new set of ‘teachers’, this part two comes off choppy and jaded.”

Early estimates

Early estimates put the Day 5 collection of Student of the Year 2 at Rs 4.5 crore.

Talking about working in Student of the Year 2, Tiger Shroff told indianexpress.com, "When I joined the film industry, I was desperate to impress people and do the right thing. As a result, I often wasn’t at ease. SOTY 2 has taught me to loosen up a bit and be myself. I’m still anxious during action and dance sequences since I try to meet the audience expectations. However, I enjoyed shooting the scenes where I had to act as a normal student. I also loved the romantic scenes. My takeaway from the film is that I needn’t be uptight all the time."

He was also all praise for his co-stars Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria. "The girls are amazing. They don’t even come across as newcomers. They are so well prepared and focused that at times I have had to up my game on sets to keep up with them," Tiger said.

Student of the Year (2012) was a Karan Johar directorial and marked the Bollywood debuts of Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. Its sequel shows the new batch at St. Teresa college in Dehradun.
