‘Sachin: A Billion Dreams’ Off to a Good Start at the Box-Office

The Sachin biopic opens to a good response in theatres on day one.

Sachin: A Billion Dreams collected a total of Rs 8.4 crore at the box-office on Friday. Since it’s a docu-drama riding on the popularity of the legendary cricketer alone, the 8 crore + collection is historic. Film trade analyst, Taran Adarsh, called the film’s box-office performance “impressive”.
