Brief Plot
Vedaa follows Major Abhimanyu Kanwar, a former army officer who mentors Vedaa, a young woman from a marginalized caste. After being harassed by an upper-caste antagonist, Vedaa seeks Abhimanyu’s help to learn self-defense and stand up against the discrimination she faces.
Together, they confront the oppressive systems, leading to a powerful showdown reminiscent of epic tales from the Mahabharata.
Theatrical Collections
The early box office estimates for Vedaa suggest a promising start. On its opening day, the John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh starrer earned approximately ₹6.52 crore in India. This figure positions Vedaa ahead of Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein but far behind Stree 2, which dominated with a ₹55 crore opening.
Industry experts predict that the film will need to sustain this momentum over the extended weekend, especially with the Rakshabandhan holiday on the horizon. To be considered a success, Vedaa must surpass the ₹60 crore mark, with the potential to achieve ₹70-80 crore to be labelled a hit.
Currently, Vedaa is available in the cinema and ready to come on any digital streaming platform after a few days. Also, you can check more such content on the Movierulz platform where you get daily new content.
