Overview
- The film opened on Friday, June 5, and earned about ₹50 lakh on day one, rose to roughly ₹95 lakh on Saturday, and closed the weekend near ₹2.45 crore India net, according to trade tracker Sacnilk.
- Critics and many viewers have hailed the writing and Bobby Deol’s performance as standout elements, with festival attention from TIFF boosting the film’s visibility.
- Makers chose a deliberately small rollout of roughly 500–600 screens and briefly pulled from national multiplex chains after a dispute over show allocations, requesting mostly 3–4 shows per screen after 1 pm.
- Box-office momentum weakened sharply on Monday when Sacnilk reported a steep weekday dip to about ₹24 lakh, taking the four-day India net to roughly ₹2.69 crore and exposing weekday vulnerability.
- The film’s short-term prospects now hinge on sustained word-of-mouth and whether distributors expand show counts, because stiff competition from multiple mainstream releases is likely to limit available screens.
