Baththa Fights for Box Office Survival
14 Oct
Summary
- Baththa nears safe zone but faces tough competition.
- The film earned 1.22 crore net on its second Tuesday.
- Its budget was reportedly 28 crore, needing 2.17 crore more.
Set in 1986 Madras, Vijay Sethupathi's film Baththa is nearing the safe zone at the Indian box office, though its journey has been challenging. The movie, released on October 1, has garnered positive word-of-mouth and critical acclaim. However, this has not fully translated into substantial box-office figures.
In its second week, Baththa collected 1.22 crore net on its second Tuesday, bringing its total net collection to 25.83 crore (30.48 crore gross). With a reported budget of 28 crore, the film is only 2.17 crore away from profitability. This achievement is at risk due to the imminent release of Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, Jailer 2, scheduled for October 15.
The upcoming release is expected to dominate screens and audiences, potentially reducing shows for Baththa and hindering its ability to reach the safe zone. The film's narrative follows a feared gangster's unexpected emotional journey of redemption, earning it an 8.4 rating on IMDb.
