 "Sachin: A Billion Dreams box office collection - Rs 27.85 crore on first weekend for Tendulkar biopic")
Much like its protagonist’s performance on the field, Sachin: A Billion Dreams has been steadily earning more money with the passing of each day. According to a tweet put out by trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film made Rs 10.25 crore on Sunday, pushing its weekend collections to Rs 27.85 crore. [caption id=“attachment_3382886” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  The poster of Sachin: A Billion Dreams[/caption] On Saturday, the film earned Rs 9.20 crore at the box office. Across all languages, the film earned Rs 17.60 crore on the second day; it has been released in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and English. The opening day collections of this film were Rs 8.40 crore. Analysts have said that this performance is impressive, considering that Sachin: A Billion Dreams is a docu-drama. It faced very little competition from last week’s releases Half Girlfriend and Hindi Medium. However, Half Girlfriend, despite its negative reviews, did earn more than Rs 30 crore on its opening weekend and Rs 49.19 crore in the first week. The Sachin biopic is expected to earn more in its second week, as Dobaara: See Your Evil and A Death in the Gunj are not expected to affect its collections much. Directed by James Erskine, Sachin: A Billion Dreams traces the life story of Sachin Tendulkar from the days when he aspired to be a cricketer, to his success on the field as one of India’s best batsmen. It features real-life footage, interviews, as well as appearances by his son and cricketers like Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh. The film has been declared tax-free in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Kerala and Chhatisgarh. On average, it received three-star reviews, with critics appreciating its ability to appeal to viewers who are non-fans .
