 "Sam Bahadur 2023")
Vicky Kaushal's biographical war drama Sam Bahadur has finally recovered the budget at the box office. The movie had a slow start and had faced strong competition from Animal since day one.
Despite receiving positive responses from both fans and critics, the movie struggled at the box office. The key reason for the movie's low performance at the box office is Ranbir Kapoor's Animal which stormed theatres in a massive way, ending up collecting over Rs 440 crore so far. While the worldwide collection of Sam Bahadur is still below 100 crore, the movie is going to take some time to cross that mark.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie so far has collected Rs 0.88 crore at the box office on day 12, and it might be a little more today. The movie collected around Rs 2.15 crore on day 11.
The worldwide collection of Sam Bahadur is 81.8 crore and has minted 58.7 crore net in India. The good news for the maker is that the movie has finally recovered its budget.
The movie performed way better on the second weekend, as compared to the first weekend, where the movie observed a sharp decline after the weekend.
