Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur is navigating turbulent waters at the box office. The cinematic tribute to India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw, is struggling against Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. Sam Bahadur’s box office collection on day 6 is only $4.3 million. Meanwhile, Animal’s box office collection day 6 stands at $59 million worldwide.
After a somewhat somber opening, Sam Bahadur found its footing through positive word of mouth, witnessing a notable surge in collections. The first Sunday proved to be a turning point, as the film amassed a whopping $1.2 million. Since then, Vicky Kaushal’s film has maintained a steady range, with collections between $0.39 million and $0.41 million daily. As mentioned earlier, according to Sacnilk’s reports, the domestic collection now stands at $4.3 million, making Sam Bahadur’s global collection total $5.3 million.
However, despite the clash with Animal, Sam Bahadur adds another feather to Kaushal’s cap, proving his star power at the box office.
