The Sabarmati Report: A Promising Underdog
Meanwhile, the low-budget film The Sabarmati Report is carving its niche, showing incredible resilience and steady growth. On its second day, the film witnessed an impressive 54.61% jump in collections, led by strong contributions from national chains:
- Friday: ₹88 lacs
- Saturday: ₹1.46 crore
With a 2-day total of ₹3.60 crore, The Sabarmati Report has matched the pace of earlier releases like 12th Fail. Its Week 1 collections so far:
