Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s much-anticipated film ‘Ganapath’ has found itself in a tough battle at the box office, facing significant challenges in its performance. This dystopian action drama, directed by Vikas Bahl, made its grand entrance onto the big screen on October 20, 2023. However, rather than soaring to heights of box office glory, ‘Ganapath’ has been grappling with underwhelming figures. In just three days since its release, the film has mustered a mere Rs 7 crore net in India. This unremarkable start has left both the film’s cast and crew and its ardent fans hoping for a turnaround in its fortunes in the days to come.
The film’s arrival in cinemas was met with a mixed response, drawing unfavorable reviews from critics and less enthusiasm from the audience than expected. ‘Ganapath’ kickstarted its box office journey on October 20 with a modest opening day collection of Rs 2.5 crore net in India. Over the subsequent days, the movie managed to maintain a relatively steady performance but failed to display any signs of an upward trajectory. As of October 22, the film’s earnings were estimated to be around Rs 2.25 crore, indicating a challenging road ahead.
With these figures in mind, ‘Ganapath’ has now accumulated a total of Rs 7 crore net in India over the course of its first three days in theaters. To add to the concerns, the film’s occupancy rate on Sunday barely scraped past 10 percent, raising questions about its box office prospects. ‘Ganapath’ takes the audience into a dystopian world where Guddu (Tiger Shroff) discovers his destiny and transforms into Ganapath, the savior of the underprivileged. Along the way, he finds love in the form of Jassie (Kriti Sanon), a martial arts expert capable of taking on formidable adversaries.
The film has generated interest not only due to its storyline but also because it marks Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s second collaboration, reuniting them after their debut film, ‘Heropanti,’ in 2014. The lukewarm performance of ‘Ganapath’ in its initial days at the box office has left both the cast and crew and the film’s ardent fans hoping that it can turn the tide and achieve greater success. The industry will be watching closely to see if the film can break free from its early struggles and emerge as a box office triumph.
