By Fateh Day 1 Box Office Prediction: Sonu Sood’s Film Opens with ₹2 Crore Amid Clash with Ram Charan’s Game Changer
Sonu Sood’s much-anticipated Bollywood film, Fateh, has finally hit theatres today, garnering significant attention due to its action-packed theme and Sood’s strong fanbase. Early box office predictions indicate a moderate start, with the film expected to earn approximately ₹2 crore on its opening day. This figure surpasses initial estimates by trade analysts, who predicted collections in the range of ₹70 lakh to ₹1 crore.
Fateh is set against the intriguing backdrop of cybercrime, exploring themes of justice and resilience. Sonu Sood, renowned for his humanitarian work during the pandemic, has generated immense excitement around the film. Fans are eager to witness his performance in a leading role, portraying an action hero.
While the opening day collections have set a modest pace, analysts believe the film’s performance could gain momentum over the weekend, depending on positive word of mouth. However, if the movie’s total earnings remain under ₹5 crore in the first few days, it may struggle to reach ₹40 crore in lifetime collections.
Adding to the challenge, Fateh faces stiff competition at the box office from two major films: Ram Charan’s Game Changer, which has already raked in ₹26.8 crore on its opening day across India, and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, continuing its successful run in its sixth weekend.
Despite the competition, Fateh has a unique cybercrime narrative and adrenaline-fueled sequences that could attract a wider audience. Sonu Sood’s real-life reputation as a “man of the people” might also draw viewers to the theatres in the coming days.
When asked about the personal significance of Fateh, Sood shared, “To me, Fateh means being a beacon of hope. It’s not about wealth, fame, or influence. True Fateh is when someone leaves their village in Punjab or Uttar Pradesh, believing that reaching out to an individual can change their life. That’s the real victory—being able to transform lives.”
The next few days will be pivotal in determining the film’s trajectory. While the opening day has set a humble tone, all eyes will be on the weekend collections to see if Fateh can sustain its momentum and carve its own success amidst intense box office competition.
