The Hindi version of Vikram Vedha is directed Pushkar and Gayatri, the same director duo who helmed the original film starring R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi. The film managed to earn Rs 10.58 crores on the first day at the box office. It is important to note, that despite a great positive pre-release campaign, Vikram Vedha’s opening day collection is similar to that of Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 11.7 crore), Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj (Rs 10.7 crore) and Ranbir Kapoor’s Shamshera (Rs 10.2 crore).
