Ajay Devgn's Singham Again, despite its robust start, has faced a significant slowdown. The film collected Rs 1.45 crore nett on Tuesday, slightly higher than its Rs 1.15 crore collection on Monday. With a total earning of rs 233.45 crore so far, the film is struggling to maintain its early momentum.

Made on a lavish budget of Rs 350 crore, Singham Again faces the challenge of covering its costs amidst diminishing numbers at the domestic box office.
