Sanjay Dutt’s Aakhri Sawal is facing a poor box office run. The film earned only ₹1.15 crore in two days despite strong pre-release buzz and a star-studded cast.
Aakhri Sawal Performs Poorly at the Box Office
Sanjay Dutt and Namashi Chakraborty starrer Aakhri Sawal has turned out to be a major disappointment at the box office. Despite decent buzz before release, the film has failed to attract audiences to theatres and is already being called a flop after its first two days.
The film was originally scheduled to release on May 8, but its release was postponed by a week due to delays in receiving the censor certificate. However, the extra wait did not help the film’s box office performance.
Day 2 Collection Shows Slight Growth
According to trade reports, Aakhri Sawal opened with a weak ₹40 lakh collection on Day 1. On Saturday, the film showed a minor jump and earned around ₹75 lakh.
With this, the total India net collection after two days stands at approximately ₹1.15 crore. For a film led by a major star like Sanjay Dutt, these numbers are considered extremely low.
Worldwide Collection Remains Weak
The film has also struggled in overseas markets. Reports suggest that Aakhri Sawal earned only around ₹15 lakh gross internationally in two days.
Its worldwide gross collection currently stands near ₹1.53 crore, which is far below expectations considering the film’s scale and cast.
Budget Recovery Looks Difficult
Industry reports claim that the film has been made on a budget of nearly ₹30 crore. Looking at the current trend, recovering even the production cost appears challenging.
Trade analysts believe the film may face heavy losses unless there is a miraculous turnaround in the coming days.
Film Focused on RSS-Related Themes
The makers had high expectations from the film because it reportedly addresses important questions linked to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). However, audience response has remained largely cold.
Poor word of mouth and limited occupancy in theatres have affected the film’s overall performance.
Star Cast and Production Details
Directed by Abhijeet Mohan Warang, Aakhri Sawal features a multi-starrer cast including Sanjay Dutt, Namashi Chakraborty, Amit Sadh, Sameera Reddy, Tridha Choudhury, and Neetu Chandra.
The film has been produced under the banners of Nikhil Nanda Motion Pictures and Neem Tree Entertainment by Nikhil Nanda and Sanjay Dutt. PVR INOX is handling the distribution.
