Bollywood Hungama's predicted lifetime collection for the film stands at ₹160–175 crore net at the India box office. If the film holds well over the extended Gandhi Jayanti weekend, those numbers could be revised upward.
The film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj and Shriya Saran. Bollywood Hungama also noted that Vijay Salgaonkar needs just ₹201.60 crore to dethrone Singham from the top 10 franchise list — a milestone now firmly within reach.
Theatres had added post-midnight shows before the release date, a sign of the extraordinary demand. The film was also trending across social media, with audiences sharing reactions from packed cinemas.
