Obsession Surprises At Indian Box Office, Horror Thriller Eyes Rs 7 Crore Opening Weekend

The independent horror-thriller Obsession is steadily gaining momentum at the Indian box office, showing impressive growth during its opening weekend.

On Sunday, the film could witness another healthy jump if it continues this momentum. The Curry Barker directorial is expected to finish its opening weekend with approximately Rs. 6-7 crore gross. In a market largely dominated by commercial releases, achieving such numbers would be a notable accomplishment, especially for an independently produced horror film.

The movie has received positive feedback from audiences. Viewers have praised its suspense-driven narrative and atmospheric storytelling. In the coming weeks, strong word-of-mouth could help Obsession sustain its momentum. If the film manages to do so, it could emerge as one of the year's surprise success stories in the horror genre.
