The film is based on the life of inspirational hockey player Sandeep Singh, who went on to become the captain of Indian hockey team after meeting with a fatal accident which left him paralysed below the waist.
Though the movie did not open its account with a huge figure what with only ₹ 3.25 crores coming in on the opening day, it showed considerable growth on its second day of release and minted ₹ 5.05 crores. The film now stands at the two-day grand total of ₹ 8.30 crore at the domestic box office.
The word of mouth has spread and now the movie is eyeing for a huge jump on Sunday.
One thing is certain that Soorma is set for a sizable business before wrapping up its first weekend at the box-office. If all goes well, it can easily garner around ₹ 6-7 crores on its third day. And if that happens, Soorma will close out its first weekend at an impressive ₹ 14.50-15 crores.
The film is battling competition from Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju, which is still going pretty strong at the box-office despite running in its third week.
