On July 29, Ek Villain Returns debuted in theatres all throughout the world. Rich brat Gautam (Arjun Kapoor) manipulates struggling singer Aarvi (Tara Sutaria) into falling in love with him in order to wreak revenge for a viral prank, only to later change his mind. However, things take an unexpected turn when Bhairav (John Abraham) and Rasika (Disha Patani) enter the equation. Ek Villain Returns, starring John Abraham, Disha Patani, Arjun Kapoor, and Tara Sutaria, had a considerably better than expected day 1 at the box office, and its growth on day 2 indicates that the debut wasn't just a passing fad.
As evidenced by the film's consistent second-day box office receipts, which vary from 7.20 to 7.60 crores, The Mohit Suri directorial's two-day total now stands at Rs. 14.60 crores after a Saturday increase of between 7 to 10 percent. On Sunday, Ek Villain Returns is anticipated to increase by 15%, which could bring the opening weekend total to Rs. 24 crores.
Unexpectedly, Ek Villain Returns has performed exceptionally well abroad. According to the report, the film made over $325k on its first day of release, including some revenue from Thursday in the Gulf. Even better than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 at £37k and nearly as excellent as Jugjugg Jeeyo at £48k, the movie made £40k in the UK on day 1.
Meanwhile, Ek Villain Returns received mixed reviews from the audience and critics alike.
