While Tom Holland's latest superhero outing continues to attract packed theatres, Jana Nayagan, The Odyssey and Dhamaal 4 are also recording steady collections as audiences continue to turn up over the weekend.

Picking up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film follows Parker as he devotes his time to protecting New York City while adjusting to a life in which everyone, including his closest friends, has forgotten who he is.

In fact, its collections over the first three days in the country are so good that several native blockbusters are lagging behind in their earning pace, including the biggest hits of the three Khans of Bollywood.
