Overview
- Day 6 India gross reached about ₹220 crore, with a ₹10.5 crore bump on discounted Tuesday and a week-one trajectory near ₹235 crore, according to PinkVilla.
- PinkVilla reports the film is underperforming versus expectations, with potential losses for producers and at least one regional distributor and no surplus for talent on semi-backend deals.
- Republic World says speculation of an accelerated streaming release has been refuted, with the film expected to observe the eight-week theatrical window and arrive online after early October, reportedly on Netflix.
- Critical reaction includes a two-star review from Indian Link that praises scale and lead performances but faults predictable plotting and an underwritten role for Kiara Advani.
- Sidharth Malhotra and Anil Kapoor publicly lauded Advani’s franchise debut, with Malhotra calling the film a stylish big-screen ride and Advani acknowledging the praise with heart emojis.
