‘The Sabarmati Report‘ starring Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra is based on the 2002 Godhra train burning incident. The film which released on November 15 is set to complete a week at the box office. While it was helmed at a moderate budget, it also had a very limited release in about 600 screens. Hence, it was meant to be a niche movie. Thus, the opening of the movie at around Rs 1.25 crore on day 1 was pretty decent.
It saw some growth on day 2 and 3, which was Saturday and Sunday but from Monday onwards, it was back to the Rs 1 crore range. The good part is that due to word of mouth surrounding the film, it has continued to remain steady in the Rs 1 crore range and didn’t see a further dip. Infact, there’s a slight bit of growth. On Tuesday, it made Rs 1.3 crore, while on Wednesday, the number was around Rs 1.45 crore. The total collection so far is Rs 10.25 crore.
The film has been declared tax free in Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, and now even Haryana. Thus it may lead to more people watching it in theatres in these areas. Meanwhile, there was also a screening happening for the Gujarat Chief Minister which may further spread awareness in other states as well.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had showered praise on the film as well. Though, at the moment, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is dominating over this new release, but soon, this one may get picked up more if the word of mouth continues.
