Overview
- The Yash‑starrer opened with an estimated India net of about Rs 101.10 crore on day one, one of the biggest openings for a Kannada project.
- Trade tracker Sacnilk recorded a sharp single‑day drop to Rs 7.45 crore net on the first Monday, a fall of roughly 67.6% from Sunday.
- By the Day‑6/Day‑7 reporting window the film’s cumulative totals stood near Rs 221.55 crore India net and about Rs 304.05 crore worldwide.
- Critics and audiences cited a long runtime, a patchy screenplay and explicit violent and intimate material for poor word‑of‑mouth, and the CBFC gave the film an A certificate with no cuts.
- Industry data show the run is highly front‑loaded, with about 13,400 shows and average occupancy near 17.1% on Monday, and analysts warn that an unconfirmed reported production cost near Rs 500 crore makes reaching a Rs 500 crore lifetime target unlikely without a swift change in audience response.
