According to early box‑office reports, the film earned less than Rs 5 crore on its first day. The figure places the opening in the lower‑than‑expected range for a star‑driven release, suggesting a modest audience turnout.

The modest start contrasts with the high expectations set by Salmaan’s recent successes, but the film’s producers remain optimistic about its prospects in the coming weekend.
