• Day-one India collections are pegged at roughly ₹9–9.25 crore net with about 32% Hindi occupancy, according to early Sacnilk figures.
• The release faces a direct clash with Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1, reported to have a far bigger opening and stronger momentum.
• Critic reviews are divided, praising humour, star chemistry and glossy musical set-pieces while faulting formulaic writing and a rushed climax.
• Audience reactions on X skew positive, highlighting Varun Dhawan’s comic timing, Janhvi Kapoor’s improved comedy beats, and catchy tracks like Bijuria and Panwadi.
