Soorma Box Office Prediction: Will This Diljit Dosanjh-Taapsee Pannu Film Strike Gold At Box Office?
While there isn't much buzz surrounding Soorma as the Sanju fever hasn't declined, a positive word-of-mouth post the film's release might work in its favour.
After
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Sanju
which
is
still
having
a
blockbuster
run
at
the
box
office,
make
way
for
yet
another
biopic.
We
are
talking
about
Diljit
Dosanjh-Taapsee
Pannu
starrer
Soorma
which
will
be
releasing
this
week.
The
film
brings
the
inspiring
story
of
hockey
legend
Sandeep
Singh
on
celluloid
and
how
he
battled
all
odds
to
emerge
as
a
winner.
While
there
isn't
much
buzz
surrounding
the
film
as
the
Sanju
fever
hasn't
declined,
a
positive
word-of-mouth
post
the
film's
release
might
work
in
its
favour.
The
trailer
received
favorable
reviews
from
the
fans
and
critics
but
the
songs
haven't
exactly
caught
the
pulse
of
the
audience.
Will
Soorma
turn
the
tide
in
its
favour?
Here's
what
the
industry
experts
have
to
say-
Soorma
Will
Have
Decent
Opening
Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
told
Times
Now
that
Soorma
will
have
a
decent
opening
day
of
around
Rs
2.5
crore
but
added
that
if
the
word
of
mouth
is
positive,
the
film
might
even
make
Rs
3
crore
and
beyond.
Diljit
Dosanjh's
Star
Power
Will
Work
In
Punjab
He
further
added
Soorma
will
make
solid
numbers
in
Punjab,
due
to
the
presence
of
Diljit
Dosanjh
and
the
business
in
the
rest
of
the
country
will
depend
on
the
word-of-mouth
by
the
audience
and
critics.
Here's
What
Trade
Analyst
Amul
Mohan
Has
To
Say
Trade
analyst
Amul
Mohan
told
Bollywoodlife
that
Soorma
is
expected
to
earn
around
Rs
3.50
crore
on
its
opening
day
and
if
the
film
achieves
this
figures
it
will
be
great
since
none
of
the
big
names
are
associated
with
it.
Soorma
Is
A
Crucial
Film
For
Shaad
Ali
He
further
said
that
will
open
with
good
numbers
in
Punjab
and
Northern
markets
as
Diljit
enjoys
a
huge
fan
base
there.
But
to
work
well
in
the
other
circuits,
the
positive
word
of
mouth
from
the
audience
will
play
a
crucial
role
for
the
film.
Soorma
is
also
important
for
director
Shaad
Ali
as
his
previous
films
like
Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom,
Kill
Dil
and
OK
Jaanu
failed
to
work
at
the
box
office.
The
film
will
also
face
a
stiff
competition
from
Hollywood
release
Ant-Man
and
the
Wasp,
which
has
garnered
immense
buzz
due
to
its
link
with
the
Avengers.
Diljit
Dosanjh
Was
The
Obvious
Choice
For
Soorma
Speaking
about
casting
Diljit
as
Sandeep
Singh,
director
Shaad
Ali
said,
"
"Diljit
was
the
obvious
choice
for
the
film
because
he
looked
the
part.
I
was
not
trying
to
find
too
much
resemblance.
That
was
not
my
criteria,
because
I
was
just
trying
to
go
with
the
look,
who
would
look
honest
in
that
part."
The
Challenges
While
Making
A
Biopic
Ali
further
added,
"Biopics
comes
with
an
added
responsibility
because
you
are
dealing
with
a
real-life
person.
It's
not
easy
to
make
a
biopic,
but
if
you
work
with
that
persona
and
his
or
her
family,
things
get
easy."
