Overview
- By the end of its first week on Friday, the film had reached about Rs 40.28 crore worldwide, with a seven‑day domestic nett near Rs 29 crore and domestic gross above Rs 34 crore.
- The film opened to a modest Rs 4 crore on Friday and rose to a Rs 17.5 crore opening weekend before weekday erosion set in, with day‑by‑day nett numbers falling to roughly Rs 2.75 crore (Day 6) and Rs 2 crore (Day 7).
- Box‑office strength has been concentrated in urban multiplexes such as Mumbai, Pune and Delhi‑NCR while turnout in single‑screen and smaller tier‑2 and tier‑3 circuits remained weak.
- Trade trackers estimate the film has recovered about 56% of an estimated Rs 60 crore production budget after Week 1, and it has underperformed against the 2019 predecessor’s first‑week pace.
- Early second‑week indicators show further slowdown as new releases like Chand Mera Dil and Drishyam 3 divide audiences, so weekend holds and weekday occupancies will determine if distributors can close the gap to breakeven.
