Filmmaker Indra Kumar's Thank God starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra saw a decent opening at the box office on Tuesday, 25 October. As per reports, the film earned Rs 8.10 crore nett in India, which is way lesser than Akshay Kumar's Ram Setu (Rs 15 crore), which hit the big screens on the same day.
Taking to Twitter, trade analyst Tarun Adarsh shared the film's box office numbers and wrote, "#ThankGod relied completely on spot bookings on the biggg #Diwali holiday… Although Day 1 biz is not proportionate with the names attached, the biz gathered speed towards evening onwards… Needs to grow/jump in the long, *extended* weekend… Tue ₹ 8.10 cr. #India."
Reportedly, Thak God has performed better than Ajay's last release, Runway 34 alongside Rakul preet Singh and Amitabh Bachchan, which had collected only Rs 3 crore at the domestic box office.
Touted as a comedy fantasy-drama, Thank God follows the story of a common man (played by Sidharth), who finds himself stuck in heaven after he meets with an accident. Therein, he meets Chitragupta (played by Ajay), who informs him that he must participate and win in the 'Game of Life' if he wants to go back to earth.
Thank God was released in theatres on 25 October.
