Fateh Box Office Day 5: Sonu Sood's Film Picks Up Pace On Makar Sankranti

Sonu Sood’s debut as a director, Fateh, is slowly making its mark at the box office. After a sluggish start and a significant dip on Monday, the action-packed entertainer saw a slight uptick in collections on Tuesday. The timing couldn’t have been better, as the occasion of Makar Sankranti brought more viewers to the theaters.

According to Sacnilk, Fateh earned close to ₹1 crore on its fifth day, nudging its total domestic collection near the ₹10 crore mark. While the film’s performance over the weekend had raised hopes, Monday’s numbers were disappointing, with collections dropping to ₹85 lakh. However, the festive atmosphere of Makar Sankranti seems to have reignited some interest.

The movie, which stars Sonu Sood and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles, has been a talking point due to its blend of high-octane action and an emotional storyline. It’s no secret that fans were eager to see Sonu Sood step behind the camera. His first attempt at directing has been met with mixed reviews. While some praised the effort and his performance, others felt the narrative lacked the punch needed for an action blockbuster.

On the brighter side, family audiences have shown more enthusiasm in recent days, particularly in smaller towns and cities. Reports suggest that single-screen theaters are faring slightly better compared to multiplexes. The audience in these areas appears to be drawn to the film’s straightforward story and patriotic undertones.

The competition at the box office is tough this week, with several other releases vying for attention. Fateh is battling it out with other big titles like XYZ and ABC, which are also attracting significant footfall. Despite this, the rise in collections on Tuesday offers a glimmer of hope for the makers. It’s possible that word of mouth could help the movie maintain steady earnings in the coming days.

Social media has also played a role in keeping the buzz alive. Fans of Sonu Sood have been actively promoting the film online, sharing their thoughts and encouraging others to watch it. Jacqueline Fernandez’s presence has added to the glamour, and her fan base has contributed to the film’s visibility.

Trade analysts believe the next few days will be crucial. With no major holidays ahead, sustaining the momentum might be challenging. However, if Fateh can hold its ground during the weekdays, it could aim for a respectable lifetime total.

The film’s performance highlights the unpredictable nature of the Indian box office. Festive releases often enjoy a boost, but they also face the pressure of delivering something extraordinary to stand out. While Fateh hasn’t shattered records, its steady climb suggests there’s still room for surprises.

For now, all eyes are on the weekend to see if Fateh can pull off a comeback. Whether it’s the chemistry between Sonu and Jacqueline or the gripping action sequences, the makers will be hoping for a second wind to push the film beyond the ₹10 crore milestone. Fans of Sonu Sood’s philanthropic work and larger-than-life persona might just give Fateh the boost it needs.
