November 17, 2024: Vikrant Massey’s latest offering, The Sabarmati Report, a content-driven film based on the Godhra train burning incident, is making steady progress at the box office despite tough competition from Diwali blockbusters like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The film, known for its niche appeal, recorded a collection of ₹2 crore on its second day, marking a significant growth from its opening day.
Day-Wise Box Office Collection
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹1.25 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹2 crore
- Total so far: ₹3.25 crore
This moderate-budget film, released on just 600 screens, is showcasing its potential as a word-of-mouth success. With a storyline rooted in true events, The Sabarmati Report resonates with audiences who favor impactful, content-driven narratives over mainstream masala entertainment.
Saturday Growth and Holiday Advantage
The Saturday growth was bolstered by the Guru Nanak Jayanti holiday in northern states, which contributed to increased footfalls. Analysts expect the film to see further growth on Sunday, driven by positive word of mouth and its gripping plot.
Challenges Amidst Big Releases
Competing against mass entertainers like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has proven to be a challenge for The Sabarmati Report. These Diwali blockbusters dominate a significant number of screens and boast a wider appeal. However, the success of Massey’s previous film, 12th Fail, has set high expectations, and his ability to select meaningful scripts continues to draw a loyal audience base.
What’s Next for The Sabarmati Report?
While the film is performing decently for its scale and budget, its ultimate success depends on sustained positive reception and growing occupancy in multiplexes. With critical acclaim for its hard-hitting narrative, The Sabarmati Report might find its place as a sleeper hit in Vikrant Massey’s growing portfolio of content-driven cinema.
