Vibe finished the opening weekend ahead of Daayra at the box office.

Vibe’s three-day net was Rs 6.77 crore, against Rs 3.92 crore for Daayra.

Daayra dipped on Sunday to Rs 1.17 crore from Rs 1.75 crore on Saturday.

Vibe earned Rs 2.32 crore on Sunday.

The figures are from Sacnilk.

Early Saturday estimates had been lower: an afternoon trend put Daayra’s second-day figure at about Rs 64 lakh, before it rose to Rs 1.75 crore in final tallies.

Trade figures for a film’s opening days are estimates that are usually revised when distributors report final numbers.

Both films now enter their first weekdays, when collections typically fall compared with weekend levels.

Vibe’s gross collection of Rs 8.08 crore is about Rs 3.4 crore ahead of Daayra’s gross of Rs 4.68 crore.

Daayra’s Sunday figure of Rs 1.17 crore was about a third lower than its Saturday figure of Rs 1.75 crore.

Vibe’s Sunday figure of Rs 2.32 crore was about 16 percent lower than its Saturday figure of Rs 2.75 crore.

Vibe’s three-day net collection is roughly 1.7 times that of Daayra.

Trade tracker Sacnilk’s latest live figures put Vibe’s three-day India net collection at Rs 6.77 crore and its gross at Rs 8.08 crore.

Vibe earned Rs 1.70 crore on Friday, Rs 2.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.32 crore on Sunday.

Daayra earned Rs 1 crore on Friday, Rs 1.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 1.17 crore on Sunday, for a three-day India net total of Rs 3.92 crore.

The gross three-day collection for Daayra is put at Rs 4.68 crore.

Both films released on Friday, September 18, and competed for the same audience over the opening weekend.

Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar, stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran and is an investigative crime thriller with a 143-minute runtime.
