Sam Bahadur directed by Meghna Gulzar and starring Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh remained rock-steady in its third weekend as it collected around Rs 12 crores. The numbers are down just by 30 percent compared to the second weekend and that's remarkable as holds like these are pretty rare. Interestingly the collections of Sam Bahadur in the third weekend are just over 50 percent down from the first weekend and that pretty much sums up the acceptance that this biopic-drama has gotten from its audience.
Sam Bahadur Has Collected Rs 75 Crores In India Till The End Of Its Third Weekend
Sam Bahadur grew on third Friday from its second Thursday and this is a phenomenon that doesn't occur for most films. The growth set the foundation for a strong weekend with a multiplier of over 5x, with Friday being Rs 2.25 crores, and Saturday and Sunday being Rs 4.25 crores and Rs 5.50 crores respectively. The war-drama spearheaded by Vicky Kaushal has had a strong run so far after a very ordinary start. To reach collections of Rs 75 crores (and counting) after a Rs 6 crore start is an achievement that can make the makers assured that their content has duly been accepted by the cinegoers. It will observe a drop with the release of the Christmas releases, Dunki and Salaar, and the run may be cut short to around Rs 80 crores.

Sam Bahadur Will End Up As An Average Theatrical Fare Despite A Strong Trend
Sam Bahadur released alongside Animal and that curtailed its initial potential a fair deal, although it made up for most of it in the full run. While it can't be said for certain, a Rs 100 crore full run was on the cards had the film released solo. Due to a high budget, despite a strong trend, it will end up as an average theatrical fare. Given the current box office scenario where films perform in extremes, we have yet another middling fare, which isn't at all a bad result in the larger scheme of things.
