On December 1, two highly anticipated films, Ranbir Kapoor‘s ‘Animal’ and Vicky Kaushal starrer ‘Sam Bahadur’, will clash at the box office. Despite both films generating significant positive buzz, one is dominating advance bookings, establishing a considerable lead over the other. While ‘Animal’ unfolds a fictional narrative around a father and son, ‘Sam Bahadur’ delves into historical chapters from the life of India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw.’Animal’ has already collected about Rs 14 crore from its advance ticket sales for day 1 and Sam Bahadur, only this morning, has managed to cross the Rs 1 crore mark, as per report by Sacnilk.Sam Bahadur’s total number stands at Rs 1.24 crore from its 2509 shows selling about 38556 tickets.
Talking about the clash, Vicky Kauhsal had addressed the topic at the teaser launch of Sam Bahadur, he had said , “In today’s time, we, as an industry, should give the option of multiple films on the same day to the audience. That’s how we will flourish as an industry. We have those many weeks in a year, but as an industry, we cannot limit ourselves to making those many films in a year. We will have to make multiple films and we will have multiple releases on the same day.”
“We have to build an atmosphere where multiple films can work on the same day. We have the strength in the audience, we have the strength at the exhibitor level, so, why not? I think we kind of also need to push the envelope now. Given today’s scenario now, the excitement that the audiences have, I think, if they resonate with two films and both films are good, both can work. So, I am as excited for ‘Animal’ as anybody else. As long as it is a great day for the audience. We work for them, not for each other,” he added.
