  • Early estimates place the India net at about ₹255–256.5 crore in five days, with day‑5 (Monday) collections around ₹30–31.25 crore, per Sacnilk.
  • Worldwide gross is being reported in the ₹362.75–370 crore range through day 5, outpacing Pushpa: The Rise’s lifetime tally.
  • In Karnataka, the film’s opening‑weekend take of roughly ₹79 crore topped KGF: Chapter 2’s approximately ₹73.5 crore, according to trade tracking.
  • Cross‑language momentum remained high on Monday, with strong Kannada occupancy (about 72.7%) and notable contributions from Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam versions.
  • Public reaction broadened its reach as cricketer KL Rahul praised the film, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta met the team and lauded its cultural portrayal, and a viral fan stunt in Tamil Nadu drew criticism for disrespecting ritual tradition.
