Having released with a combined screen count of around 5000, both Shivaay and ADHM witnessed decent occupancy on Tuesday. While the Ajay-starrer remained mostly strong in the single screens, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil kept its hold intact in the multiplexes.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had been dominating the box office since day 1 but Shivaay came up strong on Monday, reducing the difference in collection to a small margin. ADHM and the Ajay-starrer did well over the weekend as well, but not up to the expectation due to the festive season.
