"The Sabarmati Report" Opens Stronger Than Vikrant Massey’s "12th Fail" with ₹1.69 Crore Collection
Vikrant Massey's film 'The Sabarmati Report' has been a topic of discussion even before its release. This film raises a very sensitive issue of the fire in Godhra's Sabarmati Express. After its release, Vikrant Massey's film received mixed reviews from the audience and critics. Now the first-day collection of this film has also come out.
On the first day, the film 'The Sabarmati Report' got a slow start at the box office. Still, it has become Vikrant Massey's biggest opening film to date. The film made a great collection of Rs 1.69 crore on the first day. According to reports, 'The Sabarmati Report' got 16.74% occupancy on the first day of its release. This collection is much higher than the first-day collection of Vikrant's previous superhit film '12th Fail'. '12th Fail' had collected Rs 1.10 crore at the box office on the first day.
With a decent start, it is expected that 'The Sabarmati Report' can make a good collection as a medium budget film. Vikrant's new film will compete with two big films released during Diwali - 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' and 'Singham Again'. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether 'The Sabarmati Report' is able to prove itself at the box office in the coming days or not.
Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Limited and Vikir Films Production, 'The Sabarmati Report' stars Vikrant Massey along with Raashi Khanna and Riddhi Dogra in important roles. The film is directed by Dheeraj Sarna. Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan are its producers. The film has been released worldwide by Zee Studios.
'The Sabarmati Report' has been in the headlines since its release. This film depicts the Godhra incident that took place on 27 February 2002. On this day, two coaches of the Sabarmati Express train from Ayodhya were set on fire, in which 59 passengers were burnt alive. How did this fire start, was it an accident or a conspiracy, Vikrant Massey's character Samar Kumar is looking for the answer to this question in the film.
