which
sold
around
1.50
Lakhs
tickets
a
day
prior
its
release,
Vikram
Vedha
raked
in
a
double-digit

on
its
first
day

If
the
early

to
be
believed,
the
opening
day
box
office
collection
of
Vikram

is
Rs
10.58

Earlier,
at
a
press
conference
for
the
film,
Hrithik
had
revealed
he
felt
the
need
to
be
realistic
in
his
approach
while
working
on
this
film
co-starring
Saif
Ali
Khan.
"For
the
first
time
in
22
years
of
my
career,
I
felt
this
pull
to
safeguard
myself.
I
felt
an
instinctive
pull
that
I
have
to
be
very
real
because
I
am
opposite
an
actor,
who
is
the
most
real
performer,"
the
superstar
had
told
reporters
before
the
film's
release.
No
wonder,
the
actor
has
been
receiving
praise
from
every
nook
and
corner
for
his
performance
in
the
film.
Vikram
Vedha,
a
neo-noir
action
crime
thriller,
inspired
by
the
popular
Indian
folktale
'Vikram
Aur
Betaal',
revolves
around
a
tough
cop
Vikram
(Saif
Ali
Khan),
who
sets
out
to
track
down
and
arrest
the
dreaded
gangster
Vedha
played
by
Hrithik
Roshan.
