Sidharth Malhotra's latest film "Yodha" was disappointed at the box office, earning just Rs 4.25 crore on its opening day. Despite positive reviews, the film struggled commercially. Even with praise from India TV and Kiara Advani, the movie's lackluster performance raises concerns about its success.
In
a surprising turn of events, "Yodha,"
the much-anticipated action drama starring Sidharth Malhotra, failed to make a
significant impact at the box office on its opening day. Despite boasting a
star-studded cast including Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani alongside Malhotra,
the film only managed to rake in a modest Rs 4.25 crore. This underwhelming
performance has left industry pundits and fans alike questioning the movie's
potential success.
The
lackluster debut comes despite the film receiving mostly positive reviews from
critics, who commended its gripping narrative and Malhotra's portrayal of a man
in uniform. India TV's Aseem Sharma praised the film's entertainment value,
noting its numerous twists that keep viewers engaged throughout. However, it
seems that favorable reviews were not enough to translate into substantial box
office earnings.
According
to reports from Sacnilk.com, "Yodha" recorded an overall occupancy
rate of just 13.86 percent on its opening day, with the bulk of ticket sales
coming from night shows. This tepid response indicates a lukewarm reception
from audiences, raising concerns about the film's commercial viability in the
days to come.
Despite
the disappointing box office figures, the film's producers remain hopeful that
"Yodha" will gain momentum over the weekend. With Saturday and Sunday
traditionally being stronger days for movie ticket sales, there is still a chance
for the film to turn its fortunes around and attract larger audiences.
Adding to the intrigue surrounding "Yodha" is the mystery surrounding its antagonist, whose identity has been kept under wraps in the film's promotional material. This element of suspense has generated curiosity among viewers, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to drive ticket sales in the long run.

Directed
by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, "Yodha" marks another collaboration
between Amazon Prime Video, Mentor Disciple Entertainment, and Dharma
Productions. With such esteemed backing and a talented cast, the film generated
significant buzz ahead of its release. However, its lackluster performance on
day one has cast doubt on its ability to deliver at the box office.
As
the weekend unfolds, all eyes will be on "Yodha" to see whether it
can overcome its shaky start and emerge as a success story in the competitive
world of Indian cinema.
