The highly anticipated Sonu Sood starrer Fateh that has been making headlines for a while now, finally hit screens yesterday. After much hype and promotions, the film has kicked off its theatrical run with an impressive opening day collection of Rs. 2.61 crore. Thanks to a bold move by the actor-producer to price tickets at just Rs. 99 on Day 1, the film has attracted audiences in droves, setting a new benchmark for making cinema more accessible.

2025 has kick started and all eyes are on how this year turns out to be for movies at the box office. 2024 was a mixed year and hence one was waiting for a movie that sets the tone for the year. Game Changer is the first film of the year and as a pan-India affair, it has seen an extensive release in Hindi as well. Given the kind of advance booking that it was seeing till Thursday, it had seemed like the film would open in Rs. 4-5 crores range at best.

The Ram Charan-led Game Changer has taken a fair start at the box office in Hindi though the business was aided by self-buyings from the producers. According to early estimates, Game Changer has collected in the range of Rs. 70 crore to Rs 7.50 crores on the first day, opening more or less in the same range as his counterpart, NTR Jr.’s last release, Devara. The word of mouth seems to be decent and that’s a positive sign for the film to hold well in the mass belts in long run.

It has to be a record of sorts, and something that couldn’t have been imagined either. 12 years after its initial release, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has entered the Rs. 200 Crore Club. Released in 2013, the film had emerged as a blockbuster by netting Rs. 188.57 crores. This was a huge number back then, though the film did miss out on scoring a double century by just a little over Rs. 10 crores. Well, the wait is over as the film has got its rightful due 12 years down the line.
