Sonu Sood’s first movie as a director, “Fateh,” started off well at the box office on Friday. However, it seems things took a turn on Saturday. According to Niftystat, the film earned ₹2 crore on its second day, which is ₹40 lakhs less than the ₹2.4 crore it made on opening day. Typically, movies earn more on weekends, but “Fateh” has dropped in numbers.
The film received mixed reviews and is facing tough competition from another big action movie, the Hindi dubbed version of S. Shankar’s “Game Changer,” featuring stars like Ram Charan and Kiara Advani.
On its opening day, the ticket prices were just ₹99, which helped attract more viewers. But as standard weekend prices returned on Saturday, the collection fell. Sonu Sood mentioned in a social media video, “Fateh is made for everyone, and I wanted it to be easy for all of India to watch.” He also shared that he plans to donate all the profits from the film to charity.
“Fateh” is a story about bravery and the fight against cybercrime, based on true events during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film features Sonu alongside Jacqueline, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah. International talent was also involved in making the movie.
Hindustan Times noted, “Sonu did a good job with direction, but the story feels like other familiar action films. After a while, the exciting scenes become less surprising, and the cybercrime topic is treated very simply. While the film pretends to teach us something, I didn’t learn anything new.”
