The box office battle intensified over the weekend as several films competed for audience attention in theatres. Ayushmann Khurrana’s romantic comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Sanjay Dutt’s drama Aakhri Sawaal completed two days in cinemas, raising curiosity about whether the films managed to register growth on Saturday and benefit from the weekend rush. Apart from these Hindi releases, regional films including Karuppu, Krishnavatharam, and Raja Shivaji also remained under close watch at the box office.
