Box Office Clash: Sam Bahadur Crosses ₹100 Crores Worldwide, but Animal Surpasses it Eightfold in the Same Time Frame
Vicky Kaushal Takes the Lead as Sam Bahadur in the Titular Role
Meghna Gulzar’s “Sam Bahadur,” a biopic centered on India’s first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw, has been gradually gaining momentum at the global box office.
The Vicky Kaushal starrer has successfully crossed the coveted ₹100 crore milestone worldwide, indicating its widespread popularity and commercial success.
A fraction of Animal
“Sam Bahadur” achieves ₹100 crore global grossers status, but lags significantly behind the film released on the same day, 18 days ago, on December 1.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s family crime drama “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, has dominated with a staggering ₹835.9 crore in global earnings during the same period, establishing itself as the clear winner among the two films released on that day.
Sam Bahadur’s domestic collection
As per the latest figures reported by Sacnilk, “Sam Bahadur” has amassed ₹76 crore in India within a span of 17 days.
Vicky Kaushal, who portrays a significant role in the biopic, has garnered considerable acclaim from his fans for his performance.
Recently, Vicky expressed his gratitude to his fans on Instagram, sharing a behind-the-scenes picture from the makeup room during the “Sam Bahadur” shoot. The actor thanked his fans for their overwhelming love and support.
Vicky Kaushal captioned the post, “Makeup on, listen to his favourite jazz music and stare into that mirror till I start believing the guy in the mirror is Sam. Living your days believing to be SAM is a rare honour and a mammoth responsibility.
The love you all are showering on our efforts is truly gratifying. Thank you! #SAMBAHADUR IN CINEMAS! This weekend, do take your families out to the cinemas to experience the story of our true legend… FM Sam Manekshaw!” In the accompanying picture, Vicky is seated in front of a dressing mirror adorned with pictures of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
