Meghna Gulzar’s directorial, Sam Bahadur, a biopic of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, who was the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal, has been experiencing a steady run at the box office. The film, starring Vicky Kaushal in the titular role, is in its second week now and is still getting a few takers. On its second Tuesday, it earned at par with its second Monday.
Sam Bahadur’s box office collection on day 12 was noted at Rs 2.40 crore, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. This is slightly better than Monday’s collection of Rs 2.15 crore. The total collection of the film after twelve days stands at Rs 61.10 crore, which seems to be a good figure for the makers as the film was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 55 crore. Worldwide, the film has earned Rs 81.8 crore.
The film was released on December 1 along with Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal and Vicky Kaushal-starrer’s below-par performance at the ticket counters can be blamed on its simultaneous release with a mass entertainer. In 12 days, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film has earned Rs 458.12 crore and is expected to enter the Rs 500 crore club soon. Whereas, Sam Bahadur could only mint Rs 38.8 crore during its first week.
By the look of it, Sam Bahadur is expected to end its run in the theatres with Rs 80 crore, which would be less than Vicky Kaushal’s previous hit, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (Rs 88 crore). The film only has this weekend to add some more moolah to its total earnings as Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar will hit the theatres on December 21.
