Saif Ali Khan's Laal Kaptaan left us intrigued ever since the first look poster was out on the internet. The wait is finally over to witness Saif Ali Khan in the Naga Sadhu avatar. Backed by Eros International and Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow Productions, Laal Kaptaan is all set for a theatrical release in India on October 18. The film draws the titular character inspiration from the ancient Hindu mythological inspiration of the famous tribe of the Naga Sadhu. Helmed by Navdeep Singh, Laal Kaptaan enjoys being the big Bollywood release of the week but clashes with three Hollywood outings. Angelina Jolie's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil that has Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's voice for the titular role in the Hindi version. The other two releases are Zombieland: Double Tap and Downton Abbey. Laal Kaptaan: This is How Saif Ali Khan’s Raw Naga Sadhu Look Was Created.

Budget

Laal Kaptaan is estimated to be made on a budget of Rs 35-40 crores including print and advertising cost. Which means Saif Ali Khan film has to cross the Rs 50 crores mark in the domestic circuit to be called a hit.

Box-Office Prediction

Past releases including Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff's War and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker will hurt the Saif Ali Khan film as these hit films are still raking big bucks at the ticket windows. However, Laal Kaptaan is expected to earn well in the single screen. LatestLY predicts the film's opening day numbers to be somewhere around Rs 2.5 crores to  Rs 3 crores. It would barely cross the Rs 10 crores mark at the opening weekend
