Overview

• The film released on October 2 to leverage the Gandhi Jayanti–Dussehra window, going head-to-head with Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1.
• Early critiques range from 3 to 3.5 stars, with praise for Varun Dhawan’s comic turn and notes of a rushed finale in less enthusiastic write-ups.
• Promotional posters indicate Netflix as the post-theatrical streaming partner, though no OTT release date has been announced.
• Trade analyst Girish Johar predicted a day-one take near Rs 8–10 crore for SSKTK, with Kantara expected to post a stronger initial.
