Soorma box office collection day 5: Diljit Dosanjh starrer mints Rs 17.79 crore

While the film has performed well so far, it would be interesting to see if the film’s performance slows down at the box office, especially after the release of Janhvi Kapoor-Ishaan Khatter starrer Dhadak this weekend.

The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta in her review was all praise for Diljit Dosanjh and the impressive story line.

In the review, she mentioned, “It’s just the kind of real-life story which can lend itself to a goose-bump inducing film, because that’s what great sportspersons are trained to do: straining every sinew, ignoring pain and exhaustion, in order to get past the goal-post. Or, in the instance of Sandeep Singh aka Flicker Singh, who gained fame as the fastest ‘drag flick’ player ever, to score the goals. Diljit Dosanjh as Sandeep Singh is spot on. And that is the film’s biggest triumph.”

In an interview, Diljit mentioned, “Sandeep paaji is a Soorma in the true sense. The story of his life and his comeback is the one which I haven’t ever heard or read anywhere. He is a living legend.”
