Sonu Sood's directorial debut Fateh has been performing remarkably well at the box office, having earned ₹15.57 crore in its first six days.
The action thriller has surpassed expectations, holding strong against tough competition from festive releases during Pongal and Sankranti. It is on track to exceed ₹17 crore by the end of its first week.
The film's performance is particularly notable when compared to last year's opener Merry Christmas starring Katrina Kaif, which collected ₹16 crore in its entire run. This impressive box office showing signals increasing audience interest in Sonu Sood's dual role as both director and actor.
Here’s a breakdown of its earnings so far:
- Day 1: ₹2.61 crore
- Day 2: ₹3.97 crore
- Day 3: ₹4.13 crore
- Day 4: ₹1.31 crore
- Day 5: ₹2.04 crore
- Day 6: ₹1.51 crore
- Total: ₹15.57 crore
This success marks a career-best for Sood, as his last lead role in Tutak Tutak Tutiya (2016) grossed only ₹2.6 crore in total, making Fateh's performance a significant leap with a 496% increase in box office revenue.
With upcoming releases like Emergency and Azaad set to hit theaters, it remains to be seen if Fateh can sustain its momentum in the face of new competition.
