Sam Bahadur Box Office: Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur had a decent start at the box office against Animal's hysteria. The film sold more than 51,000 tickets in the advanced sale despite the clash, which was a very good number for a mid-budget film in the post-pandemic era.
Sam Bahadur saw a below-average opening in the morning shows, but then the noon shows had better footfalls. The film went on to grow further in the evening shows in the premium multiplexes and collected approx. 6 crore on opening day.
This is the 3rd biggest opening day for Vicky Kaushal after Uri and Raazi. He was there in Sanju in the side role, which opened to 34 crore nett in 2018. However, Sam Bahadur was able to beat Vicky's this year's bigger opener Zara Bachke Zara Bachke.

Uri: The Surgical Strike - 8.49 crore
Raazi - 7.33 crore
