Hrithik
Roshan-Saif
Ali
Khan's
neo-noir
crime
thriller
Vikram
Vedha
released
in
theatres
on
Friday
(September
30).
Despite
getting
good
to
mixed
response
from
the
critics,
the
Pushkar-Gayatri
directorial
scored
low
numbers
on
its
opening
day.
Hrithik
Roshan
की
Ex-Wife
Suzzanne
Khan
और
GF

ने
मिलकर
किया
Vikram
Vedha
को
promote!
According
to
trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh,
the
film
underperformed
at
the
national
chains
and
its
performance
in
the
mass
circuits
was
also
average.
While
the
film
somehow
managed
to
mint
a
double-digit
opening,
it
failed
to
meet
the
expectations
of
the
trade
insiders.
After
minting
Rs
10.58
Crore
(nett),
early
reports
hint
that
the
film
witnessed
a
slight
growth
in
its
business
on
its
second
day
of
release.
If
a
report
by
Sacnilk
is
to
be
believed,
the
Hrithik-Saif
starrer
collected
around
Rs
12.50
Crore
on
Saturday.
The
total
two-day
box
office
collection
now
stands
at
Rs
23.08
Crore.

Vikram
Vedha
is
an
official
remake
of
Pushkar-Gayatri's
2017
Tamil
film
of
the
same
name
which
starred
R
Madhavan
and
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
leading
roles.
While
Saif
reprises
Madhavan's
role
of
a
cop
Vikram,
Hrithik
steps
into
Vijay's
shoes
to
play
the
dreaded
gangster
Vedha.
Prior
the
film's
release,
Hrithik
Roshan
had
opened
up
on
comparisons
with
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
said
in
a
media
interaction,
"I
know
how
amazingly
Vijay
Sethupathi
did
the
same
part.
I
can't
in
my
dreams
think
that
I
would
achieve
that
level.
Yet,
I
have
done
my
best
and
I
am
happy
with
what
I
have
done."
He
had
also
shared
that
his
admiration
for
Vijay's
craft
and
performance
didn't
influence
him
when
he
was
portraying
the
character
Vedha
in
the
Hindi
remake.
Vikram
Vedha
revolves
around
a
no-nonsense
cop
Vikram
(Saif
Ali
Khan)
who
sets
out
to
capture
a
notorious
gangster
named
Vedha
(Hrithik
Roshan).
