However, the path ahead is not that easy as it will have to face the clash with the highly anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder at the BO from Thursday onwards.
Box Office Verdict
Varun film shows a good hold on Mon (Day 11) and Tue (Day 12) with Rs 1.80 Cr and Rs 1.75 crore respectively, taking the total domestic collections to Rs 71.09 Cr. Varun’s film is holding well on the weekdays but the drop on Mondays is big compared to the Friday, with these collections it will become difficult to earn a clean hit tag for Varun starrer.
However, an above-average and semi-hit film will be called a successful venture considering the post-pandemic time hasn’t been in favor of Bollywood with the biggies flops like Runway 34, Attack, Bachchan Paandey, Jersey, Samrat Prithviraj, etc.
