Fateh Box Office Collection Day 1: Sonu Sood’s Film Sees Decent Start; Mints 2.61Cr On A Non Holiday

Fateh Box Office Collection Day 1: Sonu Sood is here with his directorial debut which has managed to grab a lot of eyeballs. We are talking about Fateh which is also written and produced by Sonu Sood. The movie happens to be an action thriller which also features a stellar cast of Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, Naseeruddin Shah and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in the lead. Interestingly, Fateh marks Sonu's first collaboration with Jacqueline & the chemistry has grabbed a lot of eyeballs.

To note, Fateh (played by Sonu Sood) revolves around a former special operations officer with a dark past and is now unleashing his evil side as he is locking horns with a cybercrime syndicate. Interestingly, the action thriller has managed to leave the audience in absolute awe with its impressive trailer and songs and it has opened to mixed reviews from the audience and critics. However, the movie has witnessed a slow response at the box office.

Fateh Box Office Collection Day 1

According to a report published in Sacnilk, Fateh saw a decent start on the first day itself. The movie raked in Rs 2.45 crores at the box office on its opening day (day 1/ first Friday) which was also a non-holiday. Interestingly, Fateh fell short of just Rs 15 lakhs to surpass the lifetime collection of Sonu Sood's 2016 release Tutak Tutak Tutiya which also featured Prabhu Deva and Tamannaah Bhatia key roles

Jacqueline's Lowest Bollywood Opener Post COVID 19

As Jacqueline is seen playing the female lead in Fateh, the movie has turned out to be her lowest Bollywood opener post the pandemic. In fact, it is her second lowest opener post pandemic after 2022 release Kannada film Vikrant Rona which had minted Rs 1.1 crore on its opening day in the Hindi speaking market.

Meanwhile, ever since Fateh trailer had premiered, there have been comparisons of the movie with that of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. Talking about it, Sonu told India Today Digital, "The problem was, we hired around 70-80 fighters for about three major action sequences. In a single shot, we show 70 people getting killed by my character. Now, we didn't have enough people for the remaining action sequences. Because we had already shown the faces of the fighters earlier, we decided to cast them again with masks. We considered the possibility of people thinking this looks like Animal, but it was a technical necessity. The fighters were brought in from Mexico and South Africa, and it wasn't feasible to replace them immediately. Recycling the same fighters was the most practical solution".
