Overview

• By 11 pm on Aug 27, the film sold over 12,000 opening-day tickets across PVR, Inox and Cinepolis, after earlier reports of roughly 10,000 tickets in the first 24 hours online.
• The CBFC cleared the release with a U/A 13+ certificate, requiring no visual cuts but muting a few words including “church,” “father,” and “bloody.”
• First reactions from a Mumbai screening skew positive, with influencer Simone Khambatta calling it a happy, feel‑good film and praising the lead pair’s chemistry.
• Promotions included temple visits to Shirdi and Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja, where Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra were greeted by large crowds.
• Responding to comparisons with Chennai Express, the leads said the films differ, noting Kapoor’s character is half‑Tamilian, half‑Malayali and the story is set in Kerala.
