The Sabarmati Report, featuring Vikrant Massey in the lead alongside co-stars Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra, has been making waves since its theatrical release last Friday. Despite the initial buzz and the high-profile praise it received from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, the films box office performance on Monday did not reflect a significant boost. According to data from Sacnilk, the movie managed to collect only ₹1.1 crore on its fourth day, indicating a slowdown in momentum after a promising weekend.

Since its release, the movies domestic box office collection has reached ₹7.45 crore (nett) over the span of four days. The film opened on Friday with earnings of ₹1.25 crore, laying the groundwork for growth over the weekend. On Saturday, the movie witnessed a jump in numbers, collecting ₹2.1 crore, while Sunday brought in an even stronger performance with ₹3 crore in earnings. This weekend growth reflected the initial interest and positive word-of-mouth surrounding the film.

The modest Monday collection, however, points to a decline in footfall, which is often observed in the industry as weekday cinema attendance tends to dip compared to weekends. Despite the slowdown, The Sabarmati Report has garnered significant attention due to its gripping storyline, impactful performances, and the thematic relevance of its narrative. Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film explores intense and thought-provoking subject matter, aiming to leave a lasting impact on its viewers. While its box office performance is moderate, the discussions it has sparked among audiences and critics alike indicate that its influence goes beyond numbers.

Prime Minister Modi’s commendation of the film also added to its visibility, with his endorsement serving as a seal of approval for its content and cinematic value. However, this recognition has not yet translated into a substantial uplift in ticket sales, particularly during the weekdays. Looking ahead, the movie’s performance in the coming days will determine its overall success. Mid-week collections and the second weekends turnout will be critical in shaping its box office trajectory. For now, The Sabarmati Report remains a film that has made its mark with its storytelling and the performances of its cast, even if its financial success is still unfolding.
