Vicky Kaushal is receiving all the love for his earnest portrayal of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in Sam Bahadur. The film, however, had a slow start at the box office amid the Animal onslaught. According to industry tracing website Sacnilk, director Meghna Gulzar‘s biopic earned Rs 3.25 crore on day eight, taking its total domestic collections to Rs 42.05 crore. The film’s worldwide gross earnings now stand at Rs 53.8 crore.
The Vicky Kaushal-starrer witnessed an overall 28.17 percent Hindi occupancy on Friday, with Pune ranking number one with 48.25 percent occupancy, followed by Mumbai with 30.50 percent occupancy and Delhi NCR with 28 percent. While the film has received mostly positive reviews from film critics, it has suffered because of the box office clash with Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, which is proving to be unstoppable at the box office. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s crime epic has already earned Rs 563.03 crore worldwide.
Sam Bahadur opened with Rs 6.25 crore on day one, and on it’s second day (Saturday, December 2) the film made Rs 9 crore, and then Rs 10.03 crore on Sunday. However, after that the film’s earnings have dropped and stabablised in the rage of Rs 3 and 3.5 crore.
Sam Bahadur is a biopic of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw who is often hailed as the greatest soldier of independent India. Along with Vicky Kaushal, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Sheikh.
