Sat Jan 11 07:23:15 UTC 2025: ## Sonu Sood’s “Fateh” Underwhelms on Opening Day Despite Beating Some Past Releases
**Mumbai, January 11, 2024** – Sonu Sood’s directorial debut, “Fateh,” opened to a lackluster response at the box office on its first day, despite pre-release hype. The action-drama, starring Sood alongside Jacqueline Fernandez, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vijay Raaz, clashed with Ram Charan’s “Game Changer,” significantly impacting its performance.
While initial figures reveal a less-than-stellar opening day collection, “Fateh” managed to surpass the opening day numbers of several recent films including Ajay Devgn’s “Auroun Mein Kahan Dam Tha,” “Ulj,” and “The Buckingham Murders.” Remarkably, it even outperformed the lifetime collection of Abhishek Bachchan’s “I Want To Talk.” However, the film’s overall success hinges on a strong weekend performance to overcome its slow start and compete against the box office powerhouse, “Game Changer.” The coming days will reveal whether “Fateh” can achieve a significant turnaround.
