Sooryavanshi Day 1: Rs 26.29 Cr
Bhool Bhulaiyaa2 Day 1: Rs 14.11 Cr

With the huge opening the stage has been set for Ranbir starrer, from here, the content and the positive audience word of mouth are what only matters.

#OneWordReview…#Brahmāstra: DISAPPOINTING.
Rating: ⭐⭐#Brahmāstra is a king-sized disappointment… High on VFX, low on content [second half nosedives]… #Brahmāstra could’ve been a game changer, but, alas, it’s a missed opportunity… All gloss, no soul. #BrahmāstraReview pic.twitter.com/5EOKJrtbiY
