Overview
- The Paresh Rawal-led courtroom drama opened at roughly Rs 1.0 crore on Friday, rose to about Rs 1.85–1.9 crore on Saturday, and added an estimated Rs 2.15–2.38 crore on Sunday.
- Compiled trade estimates from outlets such as Sacnilk, Koimoi and Pinkvilla place the three-day India net around Rs 5–5.11 crore, and several reports note the figures are not independently audited.
- Regional turnout showed sharp pockets of interest, with reported Sunday occupancies highest in Chennai and Bengaluru, and solid showings in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad.
- Pre-release legal challenges resulted in the Delhi High Court directing clear disclaimers that the film presents a controversial narrative rather than established history, and the release proceeded with a CBFC certificate.
- Early reception has skewed mixed to poor in reports, even as Paresh Rawal and the team have defended the research and stressed the film does not seek to inflame communal tensions.
