  • He acknowledges heavy online backlash for his pre-release appeal asking Telugu audiences to outdo the Hindi opening despite the film being a straight Hindi release.
  • Trade reporting pegs the worldwide gross at roughly ₹364–365 crore against a reported ~₹400 crore landing cost, with Sacnilk issuing a flop verdict.
  • India net is estimated at ₹236 crore, including about ₹178 crore in Hindi and roughly ₹57 crore in Telugu, with overseas collections under $10 million.
  • The film opened at around ₹52 crore on day one but dropped after mixed-to-negative reviews and a clash with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, and it is now streaming on Netflix.
