The Hindi remake of the 2017 super hit Tamil film Vikram Veda was released in theaters on Friday. Released under the title Vikram Veda, the film has a huge cast including Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte. Superstar Hrithik Roshan played the don character of Veda, which was played by Vijay Sethupathi in Tamil, in Hindi. It can be said that Hrithik literally lived as Veda. Hrithik has portrayed the character that Vijay Sethupathi made Trent in Tamil very different in his own style. Hrithik Roshan has left his signature in all the action scenes and dances of the film. The scene in the film where Hrithik Roshan escapes through a colony when the police come to take him into custody is worth mentioning. Hrithik has acted in that scene by jumping and running over the buildings very easily. At the age of 48, one can only admire his talent as he performs these scenes with the same May flexibility as in the old Dhoom 2.
However, the special swag of Vikram played by Madhavan could not be seen in Saif Ali Khan for some reason. Saif has played the role of a rough-and-tough police officer brilliantly, but Madhavan’s unique dialogues and style have been badly missed in Saif.

Vikram Vedha has been getting rave reviews ever since the first show. The second coming of Vikram Veda was praised by the likes of leading Bollywood critic Taran Adarsh. But it has to be said that the first day collection of the film is quite low. Even as an action, multi-starrer film, Vikram Veda earned just Rs 10.50 crore on its first day. With this, Vikram Vedha has got the sixth position among the films that have the highest first-day collections released this year. When read in conjunction with the fact that Hrithik’s previous film Vaar managed to collect more than Rs 50 crore on the first day, one can understand how little money Vikram Veda received.
Even in Kerala, where Hrithik Roshan films have a good market, we can see Vikram Veda faltering. On the first day, the film earned just Rs 4 lakh from Kerala. It is also worth noting that Hrithik’s Bang Bang, which was released in 2014, collected more than 1 crore on its first day in Kerala. At present, the failure faced by the films of the big stars of Bollywood can be seen to follow without leaving Vikram Veda too. Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Chadha and Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj, which released this year, tasted colossal failure at the box office. Bollywood’s leading trade analysts are of the opinion that if Vikram Veda fails to collect well in the coming days, this film will also turn out to be a flop.
