Jatadhara Box Office Collection Day 1: Sonakshi Sinha And Sudheer Babu’s Mythological Drama Opens To A Slow Start

Jatadhara Box Office Collection Day 1: The highly-anticipated supernatural thriller Jatadhara, starring Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu, has opened in cinemas. The film is an ambitious blend of Indian myth and modern horror. Despite receiving praise from critics for its visual ambition, the movie had a muted opening at the box office. Here is a breakdown of its Day 1 earnings.

Set against the divine backdrop of the Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple, the film explores the fine line between science, faith, and mysticism. However, the conceptual depth did not translate into big opening numbers. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Jatadhara earned approximately ₹20 lakh on its first day.

This opening is significantly lower than expected, especially when compared to recent films in a similar genre. For example, a comparable film like Thamma received a much higher opening of ₹18.8 crore.

Despite the softer start, the film is expected to pick up steam over the weekend, buoyed by the generally positive critical reception.
