SAM BAHADUR collected well in the second week as it picked up 24.75 crore nett taking its two week total to 62.50 crore nett. Basically its about the third Friday; if the film holds at the level of Thursday, then it should do around 75 crore nett and if it jumps like last week, then even 80 crore nett may be possible. Either way the is an AVERAGE success. The second week collections are at the same level as TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR which is a good result.

The film may have been a HIT if it was a solo release but that we will never know. The film offers little for the wider audience but has done well in Mumbai city, Pune, Bangalore and Delhi NCR. Kolkata and Hyderabad are the metros which could have done better.

The film has a 35% ratio from Mumbai circuit which is much better than most films this year and it one of the rare films this year which has circuit ratios which are like a pre pandemic film for a film in this zone which is depending on word of mouth.

SAM BAHADUR had a good second weekend as it collected almost 17 crore nett taking its ten day total to 54 crore nett plus. The first weekend of the film was 25 crore nett and the film has only dropped 33% in the second weekend which did not look possible on Monday as the film dropped 40% itself on Monday.

SAM BAHADUR picked up well on the second Friday which was a surprise as its rare to see jumps of 25% from Thursday to Friday even for the most successful films. The film has fared better in Mumbai circuit than many films post the pandemic. The film is trending around 40% above Delhi/UP which is the normal trend pre pandemic but very films have managed this post pandemic. The stronger business in Mumbai city and Pune with Bangalore to support may have been the reason for the jump on Friday.

The film is looking an average success but may have better if it did not come on the same day with ANIMAL. It remains to see where the film lands on Monday. If it can really hold and then show a similar trend on Friday, then the film can actually go comfortably above 75 crore nett. ANIMAL not doing those 20 and 30 crore nett days from here on should also help the film. 

The collections of SAM BAHADUR till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Second Weekend - 16,75,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------

SAM BAHADUR collected a fair 2.25 crore nett on its second Monday dropping around 35% which is the normal drop weekly drop post the first Monday. This has now taken the film to almost 57 crore nett and the second week should do around 24-25 crore nett.

This will take the film to 62 crore nett plus by the end of the second week and it then becomes about where the third Friday lands. If there's no drop, it should end up close to the 75 crore nett and if it can show the same trend as the second Friday and go up, then the film could even cross 75 crore nett mark.

The film is looking an average success but may have better if it did not come on the same day with Animal as majority of the audience went to that film. Much of the ANIMAL audience would not be interested in a film like SAM BAHADUR but a solo release is a solo release.

The collections of SAM BAHADUR till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Second Week- 19,00,00,000 apprx

SAM BAHADUR has seen a good hold on the second Friday as collections jumped 20% from the Thursday and the film collected 3.50 crore nett which is pretty much the same as its Monday collection. The collections of the film are a healthy 41.20 crore nett and the film is a success.

The film was going along with steady collections over the weekdays but at a low level. However, the second Friday was a surprise with this jump as ticket pricing and the metros came into play. The film has to consolidate this Friday with big growth on Saturday. Being a metro centric film that should happen.

SAM BAHADUR now has a chance to go to 75 crore nett which would be in the range as SATYAPREM KI KATHA but this film has a higher budget. If it can get to 75 crore nett its a good number considering the competition of ANIMAL. If it had a solo release date or came with lesser competition, it would have done much better.

The first five day collections of SAM BAHADUR are as follows.

Friday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 10,00,00,000 apprx
