VICTORY has performed poorly at the box office. So much so that at certain centers, the shows had to be canceled. Sad, but true that VICTORY has turned out to be one the lowest openers in last many months gone by.
There wasn't much buzz about the film to begin with and somehow as the film got close to the release, the interest level only continued to go down. Promotion was weak, promos uneven and marketing uninspiring. Though the film got mixed reviews (Harman saw some positive words coming his way though) with some of them being encouraging, it didn't translate into box office collections. At around 20% odd collections (better at single screens though); the film is looking at very low collections (~4 crores) at the end of first week.
CHECK OUT: In Harman we have a true actor amidst us
Harman Baweja still has all the right reasons to be elated though.
After garnering mixed response for his performance in his debut film LOVE STORY 2050, he has proven to be victorious at least in one department, that too the most crucial one, in his second release VICTORY i.e. 'acting'! Though the film may have taken a slow start at the box office, audience, industry folks as well critics have given a Thumbs Up to his portrayal of Vijay Singh Shekhawat, a simpleton who rises to be a superstar cricketer, only to see a fall and then rise from 'ashes to glory'. Since he has films with Anees Bazmee (IT'S MY LIFE), Ashutosh Gowariker (WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE) and Mani Rathnam (yet untitled) coming up in next one year, he has his future secure for sure.
''This time I impressed a bigger chunk of audiences, film makers and critics when compared with my debut effort. It's ok, I will keep working hard on proving myself'', says Harman who continues to find support from his friends, family and even the industry folks. Here is looking forward to some 'victory' for Harman in months to come!
