Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan's Shaitaan dropped significantly on its debut Monday after earning Rs 54 crore in just three days. The film, which grossed Rs 20.50 crore on Sunday, earned in single digits on its fourth day. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Shaitaan collected Rs 7 crore on its first Monday, bringing the total to Rs 61 crore.
For the uninitiated, Shaitaan broke the previous record set by the horror film starring Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu, and Esha Gupta, which earned Rs 10.33 crore on day one. Not only has Shaitaan shattered a decade-old record, but it has also reinstalled faith in the horror genre.

On its first day, the film grossed Rs 14.50 crores, breaking the record set by Raaz 3 in 2012.
