The Arabic action thriller 7 Dogs, starring Egyptian actors Karim Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Ezz alongside Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, has recorded another underwhelming day at the Indian box office. The film, which originally released in Arab countries in May, arrived in Indian theatres on August 21 in dubbed Hindi and English versions. Despite the presence of Salman and Sanjay in much-hyped cameo appearances, the film has struggled to attract audiences in India.
7 Dogs Box Office Collection Day 2According to Sacnilk, on Day 2, 7 Dogs collected approximately Rs 18 lakh gross in India, translating to around Rs 17 lakh net. The film’s total worldwide gross also stands at approximately Rs 18 lakh after two days, according to the available figures.
The Hindi version contributed around Rs 4 lakh in net collections, while the English version earned approximately Rs 9 lakh net.
The film boasts an international ensemble cast, including Monica Bellucci, Giancarlo Esposito and Martin Lawrence. It is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the duo behind Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The project has been conceived and co-written by Turki Alalshikh.
7 Dogs Budget7 Dogs is said to have been made on an estimated budget of around $40 million, which translates to approximately Rs 335 crore. With only around Rs 18 lakh earned worldwide after two days in India, the film has recovered an extremely small fraction of its reported budget from its Indian theatrical run. 7 Dogs ReviewThe Free Press Journal reviewer gave 7 Dogs 3 stars and wrote, “7 Dogs is an entertaining action-thriller. While it is an Arabic film, it has been shot and presented like a Hollywood movie. It might attract the Indian audience, but Salman and Sanjay fans will surely be disappointed.”
