00:00 Meghna Gulzar's highly anticipated war genre, autobiographical Sam Bahadur is garnering
00:06 immense praise and appreciation from the critics and audiences as well.
00:11 The Vicky Kaushal starrer was released last Friday on the 1st of December, minting around
00:17 a sum of Rs 25.55 crores in its first weekend run, including Rs 6.25 crores Friday, plus
00:25 Rs 9 crores Saturday, plus Rs 10.3 crores Sunday, as per Sekhmil.com.
00:32 However, the above-mentioned figure could have been greater in digits if the film hadn't
00:37 clashed with Ranbir Kapoor's starrer, gangster saga Animal, on the same debut day.
00:43 According to eminent movie trade analysts and cinematic experts, Sam Bahadur had faced
00:49 a disastrous dip at the multiplex windows due to its direct face-off against the pan-India
00:55 project Animal.
00:57 Instead of heading for a deadly December release, makers of this marvellously filmed biopic
01:03 RSVP Movies should have pre-poned the release of the venture by a week, in turn releasing
01:09 at the movie markets on the 24th of November, Friday.
01:14 These extra seven golden days could have resulted in supremely boosting Sam Bahadur's box office
01:20 collection numbers, cruising it to gross Rs 100 crores swiftly without facing any major
01:26 movie clash at the celluloid.
01:28 On the other hand, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal had rode vigorously by grossing over Rs 200
01:35 crores countrywide in its three-day first weekend, emerging itself as the kingmaker.
01:42 Sam Bahadur revolves around the period of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, which led to the independence
01:48 of East Pakistan and creation of a new nation-state, Bangladesh, for which the Indian Army took
01:54 charge.
01:56 The film also features Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Govind Namdev and Neeraj Kapi
02:02 in pivotal roles.
02:03 The biographical creation on field marshal Sam Manekshaw's life journey is destined to
02:09 win numerous prestigious awards and accolades, as predicted by film fanatics in advance.
02:15 The Indian movie shall also pave its way to Oscars, being the nation's official nomination
02:21 if approved by the ministry and cinema jury.
02:24 Thank you.
