The war-epic film 'Sam Bahadur,' depicting the remarkable life of Indian Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and featuring Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, directed by Meghna Gulzar, made a solid start at the Indian box office. Despite facing tough competition from a powerhouse film like 'Animal,' Sam Bahadur managed to secure a decent opening with a net collection of Rs 6 crores, showcasing its impressive performance.
On its first day in India, 'Sam Bahadur' garnered a respectable Rs 6 crores in net collections
Sam Bahadur witnessed a significant contribution from upscale multiplexes in major cities, with the top three national chains accounting for approximately Rs 4 crores of the film's Rs 6 crores opening day net. The strategic release plan has clearly yielded positive results.
Sam Bahadur must demonstrate substantial growth throughout the weekend.
Sam Bahadur has the potential for significant weekend growth, aiming for a total surpassing Rs 22 crores. In 2023, Vicky Kaushal's cinematic journey has been a mix of success, with the hit 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,' and disappointment with 'The Great Indian Family.' Among his three releases this year, Sam Bahadur boasts the strongest opening. The question now is whether it can sustain a robust theatrical run comparable to 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.' Despite the busy year, Vicky Kaushal's upcoming film, Dunki, is generating considerable buzz and anticipation.
