Actor Sonu Sood turns director with the new action entertainer Fateh. The Jacqueline Fernandez starrer earned ₹2.45 crore on Friday.
Fateh holds his own against a far more formidable fellow action entertainer, S. Shankar’s Telugu tentpole game changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani. While the Hindi-dubbed version of Game Changer earned ₹7 crore on its opening day. The total box office collection of Game Changer across all five languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam) on Friday stood at ₹51.25 crore. Fateh’s box office collection may increase on Saturday due to the weekend, but it will have to face tough competition from Game Changer.

Earlier, Sonu had said in a video uploaded on social media, “In 2020, when we were hit by Covid, many people who reached out to me for help were victims of cybercrime. They were dealing with fraud, and money was drained from their accounts. This deeply resonated with me, and I wanted to tell the story of the common man.”
“Fateh is a film made for the common man, and I wanted it to reach everyone in the most accessible way across India. That’s why we’ve decided to price tickets at just ₹99 for the first day. Additionally, I will be donating the entire profit from the film to charity as my way of giving back to people,” he had added.
About Fateh
Fateh is “a gripping tale of courage, resilience, and the fight against cybercrime,” according to its synopsis. It is predicated on actual cases of cybercrime that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sonu will be seen on screen with Jacqueline, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah in Fateh, which is produced by Shakti Sagar Productions and Zee Studios. For this movie, some of Hollywood’s biggest names have been brought in, such as the research team, action choreographers, and the director of photography.
The media review on, “Sood, of course, is the anchor of this ship. Despite choppy waters, he makes you sit through the film. Heavy-duty action suits him, and the attempt to meet international standards is visible.” “While Fateh does not go out of its way to subvert the action genre, the film’s international treatment—especially in the action sequences—is definitely bound to impress people,” it further read.
