The political action drama The Sabarmati Report, starring Vikrant Massey, Riddhi Dogra, and Raashii Khanna, has unfortunately dropped below the one-crore mark at the Indian box office. Released on November 15, 2024, the film began on a positive note but has since struggled to maintain momentum. As it enters its second week, the outlook for the film appears increasingly bleak.
Day 14 Box Office Performance
On its second Thursday, The Sabarmati Report earned just ₹0.90 crore, reflecting a 10% decrease from the previous day’s collection of ₹1 crore. This decline is concerning, especially as the total earnings for the second week now stand at ₹11.36 crore, indicating a 6% drop compared to its first week.
Box Office Breakdown
- Week 1: ₹12.16 crore
- Week 2: ₹11.36 crore
- Total Collection: ₹23.52 crore
This downward trend is particularly troubling given that the film had initially shown promise with its opening week performance.
Comparison with Previous Success
In comparison to Vikrant Massey’s previous film, 12th Fail, which garnered ₹27.11 crore in just two weeks, The Sabarmati Report is lagging significantly behind by approximately ₹3.59 crore. While 12th Fail earned ₹1.50 crore on its second Thursday, The Sabarmati Report has not experienced similar success.
Budget Recovery Challenges
With a production budget of around ₹50 crores, The Sabarmati Report has yet to recover half of its costs. The film’s performance is particularly disappointing considering there were no major releases competing for screens in the past week. However, with the upcoming release of Pushpa 2, which is expected to dominate box office screens starting December 5, time is running out for this film to improve its standing.
Conclusion
In summary, The Sabarmati Report has faced significant challenges at the box office, struggling to maintain its initial momentum and failing to resonate with a broader audience. As it approaches the end of its theatrical run, it remains uncertain whether the film will be able to recover its budget or find success in future digital releases.
