120 Bahadur Takes the Lead Over Mastiii 4 on Third Day

In a spirited box office clash, 120 Bahadur and Mastiii 4 are capturing audiences this weekend. On its third day, 120 Bahadur amassed Rs 4 crore, just ahead of Mastiii 4, which garnered Rs 3 crore. Total earnings so far place 120 Bahadur at Rs 10.1 crore in India, while Mastiii 4 stands at Rs 8.5 crore.

Examining the Hindi occupancy from November 23, 120 Bahadur achieved an overall occupancy rate of 16.50%. Morning show occupancy was at 7.90%, afternoon shows brought in 18.74%, evening shows hit 24.60%, and night stats showed 14.76%. In contrast, Mastiii 4 recorded a total occupancy of 12.61%, with morning shows registering 5.59%, afternoon at 12.91%, evening at 17.02%, and night at 14.93%.

Directed by Razneesh Ghai, 120 Bahadur is rooted in the historic Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 Sino-Indian War, portraying the valor of 120 soldiers from Charlie Company against a formidable Chinese battalion of roughly 3,000 troops on November 18, 1962. Stars like Farhan Akhtar portray Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, leading the charge alongside Raashii Khanna as Shagun Kanwar Singh. The film honors the heroism of these soldiers through its blend of history, patriotism, and thrilling action.

On the other hand, Mastiii 4, directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, marks the fourth chapter in this spirited adult-comedy series. Beginning with Masti in 2004 and followed by Grand Masti in 2013 and Great Grand Masti in 2016, this latest installment stays true to the series’ hallmark blend of humor and daring comedy. Returning cast members include Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Arshad Warsi, Elnaaz Norouzi, Nargis Fakhri, and Tusshar Kapoor, with a special appearance by Genelia D’Souza. Mastiii 4 is set to enthrall franchise followers with its hilarious scenarios and ensemble cast as it aims to replicate the achievements of its predecessors.

As both films power through their theatrical journey, 120 Bahadur holds a small advantage in box office collections and audience occupancy. However, the established fan base of Mastiii 4 could keep the competition fierce. Experts will be observing the upcoming weekdays to determine which film maintains its positive trajectory and captures audience favor.
