It was made with a budget of Rs 140 crores but only earned Rs 89 crores at the box office. Director Kabir Khan faced another setback after 83, as his sports drama failed to perform well. Despite having a compelling story and featuring a forgotten hero, the film was overshadowed by the success of Munjya and Kalki in 2898 AD, leading to its poor box office performance.

Sarfira

The Hindi remake of Suriya’s National Award-winning film Soorarai Pottru failed at the box office. Titled Sarfira, and starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, the film was released on July 12. It tells the story of a courageous man who refuses to back down from life’s challenges. The film carries a strong message and serves as a source of inspiration. Directed by the same filmmaker with the same passion as the original, Sarfira was just as impactful as Soorarai Pottru. However, while the original received widespread recognition, the remake struggled to attract audiences. Made with a budget of Rs 30 crores, Sarfira earned only Rs 30 crores, failing to make a significant impact.
