120 Bahadur Opening Box Office Collections: Produced by Farhan Akhtar, 120 Bahadur is an action-packed drama that began its run here in India with a not-so-great opening at the domestic box office. The film, which promised to deliver tension-drenched fight sequences, emotional depth enriched by storytelling, and a gripping storyline, grossed INR 2.35 crore on its day of release as per rough trade estimates. Rightfully set up decently, however, the momentum did not carry on into Day 2, and it raises eyebrows at what this could mean for the film with regard to high lifetime collection.
On Saturday itself, a drastic decline was observed with hardly ₹0.09 crore earned, which amount to only INR 0.09 crore on the second day. This drastic fall, indicating the poor capability of the film to grow by generating public word of mouth, which is extremely necessary for holding collections beyond the first day, is now holding up its volume at INR 2.44 crore India net, slow-pace for going-for-action fans and youngsters.
Day 1 (Friday): ₹2.35 Cr
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹0.09 Cr
Total: ₹2.44 Cr
Audience Response and Early Trends
Initial audience reactions seem to be divided. While Farhan’s performance and the action choreography have received applause, the screenplay and some in-pacing have rendered it non-appealing across much larger demographics. Both multiplexes recorded mild occupancy for Day 1; however, single screens, among which this movie will have its heavy weight, could manage below-average performance on the next day.
Sunday and weekdays will play a crucial role for 120 Bahadur to recover and normalise at the box office. The sharp dip on Day 2 indicates that the film needs a very strong promotion and a hugely positive buzz on digital platforms and possibly a successful evening for establishing further growth. With much competition from other releases and limited growth over the weekend, the film will have to rely much on upcoming days for overall performance improvement.
