Fateh Box Office Collection: Sonu Sood’s Action Film Achieves Rs 6.6 Crores In Opening Weekend

Sonu Sood's debut as a director with the film "Fateh" has garnered significant attention. This action thriller not only highlights his directorial skills but also showcases his writing and producing capabilities. The film features a notable cast, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, Naseeruddin Shah, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. The trailer has already sparked interest among audiences, raising expectations for its release.

The storyline of "Fateh" centres on Sonu Sood's character, a former special ops officer who returns to combat a cybercrime syndicate. He teams up with Jacqueline Fernandez's character, an ethical hacker whose expertise is crucial in their mission. This partnership blends action and romance, creating an engaging narrative that promises an exciting cinematic experience for viewers.

On its opening day, "Fateh" collected Rs 2.4 crores at the box office. However, the numbers slightly dipped on the second day to Rs 2.1 crores. According to Sacnilk, the film maintained its hold by earning another Rs 2.1 crores on the third day, bringing its total collection to Rs 6.60 crores.

The film had a decent opening weekend performance with Rs 2.1 crores collected on both Saturday and Sunday. This brought the total weekend earnings to Rs 4.2 crores.

Since the release of "Fateh's" trailer, comparisons have been drawn with Ranbir Kapoor's "Animal." Addressing this, Sonu Sood explained to India Today Digital that they faced challenges during production due to a shortage of fighters for action sequences. "The problem was, we hired around 70-80 fighters for about three major action sequences. In a single shot, we show 70 people getting killed by my character," he said.

He further elaborated that due to showing these fighters' faces earlier in the film, they had to reuse them with masks for subsequent scenes: "Now, we didn't have enough people for the remaining action sequences... Recycling the same fighters was the most practical solution." This decision was driven by logistical constraints as fighters were sourced from Mexico and South Africa.
