The Sabarmati Report Box Office Day 4: Vikrant Massey Film Sees Decline, Trails Behind 12th Fail
On its first Monday, The Sabarmati Report experienced a dip in collections after a steady weekend. According to Sacnilk.com, the film has garnered just over ₹7 crore net in India so far.
Box Office Performance
The Vikrant Massey-starrer, based on the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station on February 27, 2002, opened with ₹1.25 crore on day one, followed by ₹2.1 crore on day two and ₹3 crore on day three. On day four, it earned ₹1.10 crore, bringing its total domestic collection to ₹7.45 crore.
Compared to Massey’s previous release 12th Fail, which earned ₹1.5 crore on its first Monday, The Sabarmati Report has lagged behind. The film also recorded a modest 16.04% Hindi occupancy on Monday.
About the Film
Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, The Sabarmati Report explores the ideological clash between Hindi-speaking journalists and English-language reporters, set against the backdrop of the Gujarat riots. Apart from Massey, the film features Ridhi Dogra and Raashii Khanna in key roles.
Special Screening
On Monday, a special screening was held in Mumbai, attended by Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, and Vikrant Massey. Speaking to ANI, Vikrant shared his excitement about the audience’s response.
“The experience was amazing. The cinema hall was housefull. Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended the screening,” he said.
Despite the film’s strong premise and performances, its box office numbers continue to face challenges against competing releases.
