₹150 Crore Worldwide and Still Growing
The film has apparently made over ₹150 crore globally and has outperformed what was anticipated by the industry. Trade analysts predicted a modest run for the film with the lack of buzz prior to its release, but the content-driven film, combined with Akshay’s box office presence as a superstar, ultimately created a sleeper hit.
The film released widely in several languages, which contributed to its success, and saw a strong weekend bump that was followed by steady weekday traffic, especially across mass-exposed corridors.
