  • Industry trackers indicate roughly 70% growth on Saturday, putting two-day collections in the Rs 5.6–6.5 crore range.
  • Farhan Akhtar hosted a special Delhi screening attended by Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi along with senior officers and their families.
  • Organisers scheduled a high-altitude screening at the Rezang La War Memorial Auditorium in Ladakh for November 22.
  • Pre-release petitions alleging distortion were disposed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, yet post-release criticism from author Kulpreet Yadav persists as director Razneesh Ghai defends the film’s credit to Ahir soldiers and Akhtar calls for tax-free status to widen reach.
