Bastar: The Naxal Story' day 1 box office: Adah Sharma's film opens at ₹50 lakh

'Bastar: The Naxal Story' opens to a subdued response at the box office, raking in only ₹50 lakh on its first day of release in domestic markets. This underwhelming start comes as a stark contrast to the remarkable success of its predecessor, 'The Kerala Story', which amassed ₹8 crore on its opening day last year, eventually culminating in a lifetime total of ₹242 crore in India. Despite Adah Sharma's portrayal of an IPS officer and the film's exploration of the human tragedy surrounding the Naxal insurgency in Chhattisgarh's Bastar district, 'Bastar: The Naxal Story' faces stiff competition from 'Yodha', a high-profile hijack action thriller, which garnered ₹4.26 crore on its opening day.

Vipul Amrutal Shah, the producer behind 'Bastar: The Naxal Story', emphasized the film's focus on human tragedy rather than politics, he said ,"We didn't want to get into politics. We want to explore human tragedy. All politics is on one side and real sufferers are the common people. When will their pain come out in front of people? We usually swear at politicians and leave the issue but this real human tragedy needs to come forward.”
