As per reports, Fateh was made on a budget of Rs 40 crore. The film didn’t benefit from ticket prices being reduced to Rs 99 on opening day, and even a Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) offer on Sunday. While announcing it on Instagram, Zee Studios shared a poster and wrote, “Samay aa gaya hai, aapke liye power-packed offer ka! Book one ticket and get another one free, offer starts today. Fateh in cinemas now.”

In the past year, mid-budget Hindi action dramas have faced a difficult time at the box office. John Abraham’s Vedaa, which was released last year made just Rs 25.93 crore worldwide. It opened to Rs 6.52 crores and ended up minting Rs 13.5 crores in its first weekend. The movie also faced competition from Stree 2 and Khel Khel Mein during the Independence Day weekend.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, which is still running in theatres for more than a month, recorded its lowest collections at the box office on its sixth Monday. Pushpa 2 has broken several records, creating history by becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The film earned Rs 1 crore on Monday, having already fended off a challenge in the form of Varun Dhawan’s Baby John.

Besides Sonu Sood, Fateh also features Vijay Raaz and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles. It is based on the fight against cybercrime, inspired by real-life situations during the Covid-19 pandemic.
