After Suryavanshi, Bunty Aur Babli, Satyameva Jayate 2 and Antim: The Final Truth – all movies directed by Milan Luthria – Tadap was released in theaters worldwide this morning. Our tracking data suggests it has made an excellent start so far according to early estimations for its opening day collection. This means it will likely bring in about 3.9 or 4.3 crores (approximately $550-$635 thousand USD) from its first day alone, which is a fantastic figure for an unknown actor like Ahan Shetty paired with relative newcomer Tara Sutaria.
The Sajid Nadiadwala produced romantic masterpiece has been met with success across the nation, though most heavily in Mumbai and Bihar. Tadap took the third-best start for a film this year after Sooryavanshi and Antim: The Final Truth – beating out much higher grossing films such as Roohi, Mumbai Saga, Bell Bottom, Bunty Aur Babli 2 and Satyameva Jayate 2 on its opening day release. Despite being only 20% behind the first-week totals of Antim: The Final Truth, which was released at a time when it featured superstar Salman Khan prominently in promotion – it can be seen as a victory for the team that they have gotten even this close to surpassing him so quickly!
Tadap seems to have captured the attention of many young men who were attracted by its theatrical trailers and promotional music. As a result, those in attendance at its early screenings consisted mostly of viewers with a taste for action-oriented stories – an indicator that Tadap might be an apt choice for them.
Friday’s performance was less than stellar; however, as the evening progressed through the evening and nighttime hours where people had been coming out of work, they slowly increased numbers even surpassing other major releases this year. Reviews are currently mixed but it is too soon to make any predictions about what will happen over the next few days or weeks. This film did well considering it was only released today but things could change very quickly depending on how the rest of this week goes so stay tuned!
