Overview

  • Released on 31 October as Garg’s last film, it was completed for release by co-producer Garima Saikia Garg and the team following his death in Singapore.
  • Sacnilk figures reported by Koimoi put the three-day India net at 6.13 crore, call day one the biggest Assamese opening, and rank the film sixth all-time in the language by gross so far.
