Hyderabad: Madgaon Express, directed by Kunal Kemmu, and Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, helmed by Randeep Hooda, were both released in theatres a week ago. Despite similar growth trends in box office revenues, Madgaon Express has continually maintained a lead over Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, making it the clear winner in this box office battle.

In an effort to enhance ticket sales and attract a broader audience, the producers of both films have implemented a Buy 1 Get 1 deal on tickets, with the goal of increasing theatre attendance and bolstering box office receipts. However, since the release, Madgaon Express has maintained its lead over Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.
Randeep's film explores the life of Indian freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, with Ankita Lokhande playing Savarkar's wife, Yamunabai. Hooda underwent a dramatic physical transformation to play the lead part in the film on Vinayak Damodar's life during the independence struggle. It is produced by Zed Studios, Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, Randeep, and Yogesh Rahar.
On the contrary, Madgaon Express chronicles the experiences of three childhood friends, played by Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, and Avinash Tiwary, on a vacation to Goa that takes unforeseen twists. The film is bankrolled under the banner of Excel Entertainment, which is owned by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar.
