On Monday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted an elaborate note on X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the first-weekend box office collection of Sarfira. He wrote, “Sarfira continues to struggle... Earns praise and acclaim, but underperforms at the ticket windows... Biz saw an upward trend on Sat-Sun, but the 3-day total remains lackluster, falling far below expectations. In the recent past, well-made content-driven films like #Maidaan [April] and #ChanduChampion [June] faced a similar dilemma... While applause and appreciation are commendable, what matters is #Boxoffice ultimately.”
Taran Adarsh continued, “Going forward, #Sarfira needs to collect Rs 3.5 cr+ on the make-or-break Mon to cover the shortfall, since the Fri numbers were dismal... Additionally, it needs to score consistently until Thu, since #BadNewz, arriving on Fri, will dent the biz of all films. [Week 1] Fri 2.50 cr, Sat 4.50 cr, Sun 5.50 cr. Total: ₹ 12.50 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
