‘Fateh’ directed by Bollywood actor Sonu Sood had its theatrical release today, marking the actor’s much-anticipated directorial debut. Despite generating considerable buzz due to its action-packed storyline and Sood’s strong fanbase, the film’s opening day box office figures have been lukewarm.

Fateh Box Office Collection Day 1

According to the latest Sacnilk report, ‘’Fateh’ made an estimated ₹0.2 crore net on its opening day, January 10, 2025. The film had a modest 10.60% occupancy across India on its first day, which is below expectations for a film with such high anticipation.

The occupancy rate for ‘Fateh’ varied across several key regions. The film saw a 15% occupancy in Mumbai, while in the National Capital Region (NCR), it stood at 13%. Other major markets like Pune and Bengaluru reported occupancy of 18% and 12% respectively. However, places like Hyderabad and Kolkata saw minimal audience interest with just 7% and 5% occupancy, respectively. According to the Sacnilk report, the overall morning occupancy for the film remained low across India, with no significant changes in the afternoon, evening, or night shows.

Fateh Faces Tough Competition From Ram Charan’s Game Changer

One of the key challenges faced by ‘Fateh’ on its opening day is the strong competition from the much-anticipated Ram Charan-starrer, ‘Game Changer’. As per the Sacnilk report, 'Game Changer' has already garnered impressive box office collections, with a Rs 26.8 crore estimate for its opening weekend. The clash between the two films has generated significant buzz online, with many fans discussing their preferences and comparing the two films.

Besides ‘Game Changer’, ‘Fateh’ also has to contend with the continuing success of Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’, which is now in its 6th weekend at the box office. ‘Pushpa 2’ is expected to continue to draw audiences, further limiting Fateh’s potential to dominate the box office in the coming weeks.

Sonu Sood, who became a household name for his philanthropic work during the COVID-19 pandemic, has garnered attention as he steps into the lead role for the first time. Fans have been eager to see the actor in a new avatar, but the film’s slow start at the box office may suggest that the audience’s excitement didn’t translate into ticket sales.

With its first-day performance, ‘Fateh’ has a long way to go to meet its box office expectations. The film will need to build strong momentum in the coming days to recover from its slow start, especially with stiff competition from films like ‘Game Changer’ and ‘Pushpa 2’.
