Vikrant Massey, one of the powerful young actors of Bollywood, has been playing powerful characters for some time now. Last year his movie ’12th Fail’ was a big surprise hit and further increased his popularity among the audiences. Now his new film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ is in theaters and moving at the same pace as ’12th Fail’.
In ‘The Sabarmati Report’, Vikrant plays the role of a journalist who wants to bring to light the truth about the 2002 Gujarat riots. The real incident on which the plot of the film is based has also sparked a lot of controversies. Some of Vikrant’s statements while promoting the film also sparked controversy. However, it doesn’t seem to have much impact on the film’s collection.
Powerful weekend of ‘The Sabarmati Report’
Vikrant’s film released at the box office on Friday with an initial collection of Rs 1.41 crore. On the second day, the film took a huge leap at the box office and Saturday’s collection reached Rs 2.18 crore.
Trade reports on Sunday suggest that the film has collected over Rs 3 crore on the third day. After the first weekend, the total net collection of ‘The Sabarmati Report’ stood at Rs 6.71 crore. According to reports, this film was released on the first day in around 600 theaters. In this sense, the film’s collection is quite solid.
Speed of the ‘Sabarmati Report’ compared to the ’12th’ flop
The biggest hit of Vikrant Massey’s career is ’12th Fail’, which grossed over Rs 56 crore at the box office. This movie earned 1.10 crores, 2.5 crores and 3.1 crores in the first 3 days. That means the first weekend of ’12th Judgment’ generated 6.70 crores.
The first weekend collection of ‘The Sabarmati Report’ also equals ’12th Fail’. But now history can have play from here. ’12th Fail’ received much praise from critics and audiences. That’s why this movie remained strong at the box office even on the first Monday and continued to win continuously. While the reviews and word of mouth of ‘The Sabarmati Report’ are not that good.
The film has faced a lot of criticism for its poor script. In such a situation, the first Monday can prove to be a big deterrent for the film. If the film’s earnings remain strong on the fourth day, then the chances of another hit in Vikrant Massey’s account will be higher.
