'The Sabarmati Report' starts slow; earns ₹1.15cr on Day 1
The Sabarmati Report, featuring Vikrant Massey and Raashii Khanna, has opened on a dull note at the box office. The film, which was released on Friday (November 15), collected ₹1.15cr on its first day, according to Sacnilk. The movie witnessed a Hindi occupancy of 16.74% in theaters during the day with a spike in night shows at 25.58%.
'The Sabarmati Report' outperformed Massey's previous film
Despite a relatively low start, The Sabarmati Report exceeded the opening day earnings of Massey's previous theatrical film, 12th Fail, which had collected ₹1.1cr. However, 12th Fail went on to become a landmark, cult film. The new release is up against tough competition from other major films including the Hollywood period drama Gladiator 2 and Suriya's action epic Kanguva.
