Overview
- Ranveer Singh’s espionage thriller released on December 5 across India, with low morning footfalls reported and stronger late‑night show bookings projected in some circuits.
- Pre‑sales were pegged at about Rs 14 crore including blocked seats, reflecting slower‑than‑expected advances across key markets, according to Sacnilk and trade trackers.
- First show reactions from early screenings, including Australia, largely praise Singh’s performance, the action design and the film’s scale.
- Following a Delhi High Court reference, the CBFC re‑examined and certified the film as a work of fiction with an A rating, a 214.1‑minute runtime and trims to violent scenes alongside added disclaimers.
- Yami Gautam criticized what she called paid negativity in film PR, drawing support from Hrithik Roshan, as posts and an end‑credit tease prompted speculation about a planned sequel.
