Sam Bahadur collected a fair 25 crore nett over its first weekend with good growth on Saturday though there was not much follow through on the Sunday which was expected.as the bulk of the business was coming from the three big metro centres.

These collections are low for the film but if you consider the juggernaut competition of Animal against the film and the general collections of films which dont have much to bring out mass audiences over the first weekend then these collections are pretty respectable.

Despite the decent weekend trend the problem the film is likely to face is that Animal will be recording huge collections on the weekdays and in the metros also and with a limited audience out there on weekdays and there is no holiday support it will find it tough to hold as strong as it has to.. The first three day collections of Sam Bahadur are as follows.

Friday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 10,00,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 25,00,00,000 apprx
