The
political drama
‘
The Sabarmati Report
‘ saw its
box office
collection dip on its first Monday.
Despite a slight dip in collections on its first Monday, earning just around Rs 1.10 crore nett, according to early estimates on Sacnilk.com, the film’s performance aligns with a broader trend observed across Hindi releases, including ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, which also reported similar earnings on Monday.
The film which had a promising debut weekend at the box office, earned an estimated Rs 7.45 crore in India nett collection by the end of its fourth day.
Helmed by Dheeraj Sarna and starring Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra, opened with Rs 1.25 crore on Friday and showed marginal growth over the weekend, earning Rs 2.1 crore on Saturday and Rs 3 crore on Sunday. While industry estimates place the film’s total at Rs 7.45 crore, the production team has reported a slightly higher figure of Rs 8.05 crore for its first weekend, celebrating with a poster captioned, “Earning Applause at the Box Office!”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the film on Sunday, posting, “Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!”
Producer
Ektaa Kapoor
responded with gratitude, writing in Hindi, “Respected Prime Minister, thank you very much for your positive words on #TheSabarmatiReport. Your appreciation proves that we are on the right track. History is witness that truth always prevails over lies, no matter how long the cycle of deception.”
‘The Sabarmati Report’ delves into the events of February 27, 2002, aboard the Sabarmati Express near Gujarat’s Godhra railway station, a tragedy that ignited communal riots.
The Central Board of Film Certification granted the movie a U/A certificate after suggesting edits to violent scenes, muting certain words, and making minor alterations.
