Overview
- Trade trackers report an upswing in Day 1 pre-sales, with Sacnilk logging Rs 61.61 lakh gross and about 16.7K tickets by Thursday morning, while some outlets cite totals crossing Rs 2 crore on the final push.
- Forecasts peg opening-day collections in the modest range, with Bollywood Hungama guiding Rs 7–8 crore and Koimoi projecting roughly Rs 8.5–10 crore, contingent on same-day turnout.
- Early bookings in top national chains were initially soft—about 6,500 tickets across PVR Inox and Cinepolis on Wednesday—signaling reliance on spot bookings despite wider availability.
- The sequel, led by Ajay Devgn with Rakul Preet Singh and R. Madhavan, benefits from franchise goodwill and a relatively clear slate of competing Hindi releases.
- Pre-release buzz includes a new dialogue promo and an early reviewer praising lead performances, adding momentum before the November 14 theatrical debut.
