25 October 2023, Mumbai: Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s futuristic action film, “Ganapath,” showed no signs of improvement even with the advent of the Dussehra holiday. On the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, the film could only muster a meager ₹1.5 crore in box office collections, as per preliminary estimates. This brings the film’s total earnings to ₹9.8 crore after five days in theaters. “Ganapath” registered a Hindi occupancy rate of 12.28 percent on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the film has failed to witness any significant growth since its opening day, where it earned ₹2.5 crore, with subsequent days seeing further decline.
The ‘Ganapath’ Cast and its Futuristic Universe
“Ganapath,” penned and helmed by Vikas Bahl of “Queen” fame, is reported to have been crafted with a hefty budget of ₹200 crore. The film also features the legendary Amitabh Bachchan in a pivotal role. The ensemble cast includes Elli AvrRam, Gauahar Khan, Rahman, Jameel Khan, Girish Kulkarni, Shruthy Menon, Ziad Bakri, Jess Liaudin, and Brahim Chab. Set in a dystopian world in the year 2070 A.D., the story revolves around Tiger Shroff’s character, Guddu, who transforms into Ganapath, a savior embarking on a mission to protect his people from a menacing syndicate. Kriti Sanon, too, plays a prominent role with numerous action sequences.
Dussehra Unveils ‘Lafda Kar Le’ Song
On the festive occasion of Dussehra, the “Ganapath” team revealed a new song titled “Lafda Kar Le,” featuring Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon. This catchy song showcases Tiger Shroff’s vocal talents as he lends his voice to the track alongside Nikhita Gandhi. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Ladakh, “Lafda Kar Le” captures the picturesque landscapes of the region, adding an extra layer of visual appeal to the film.
Rajinikanth’s Best Wishes for ‘Ganapath’
Amid a star-studded screening of “Ganapath,” megastar Rajinikanth extended his best wishes to the film’s team ahead of its release. In a heartfelt tweet, he conveyed his warm regards to Tiger Shroff and the entire cast and crew of “Ganapath,” wishing them all the very best for the film’s success. This endorsement from the legendary actor added a touch of stardom to the anticipation surrounding “Ganapath.”
Despite its early challenges at the box office, “Ganapath” remains a futuristic film that has generated substantial interest and curiosity among audiences, largely due to its unique futuristic storyline and impressive ensemble cast.
