"#Himmatwala is on a declining spree not just in India, but also in key markets of Overseas," trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted.

"#Himmatwala falls in several circuits on Day 2 [Sat]. At several centres, the decline is substantial," Adarsh wrote on his Twitter handle.

The business of the film has declined by 20-25 percent on Saturday in India. Key circuits in North India like Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh has also seen a fall in the film's collection.
