The movie is facing competition from the Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde starrer ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ and Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi’. The movie also locked horns with the Hollywood flick ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’.Screen allocation issueA day before its release, the makers decided to stop showcasing the movie in national multiplex chains, as they felt the shows had been distributed unfairly. Girish Johar of Zee Studios told Bollywood Hungama, “Our ask is very fair. The producers and we have devised a particular release strategy catering to the core target audience. Accordingly, we had requested cinemas across the country to give us certain allotted shows of the film, that is, 3-4 shows in 5 screens post 1 pm. The duration of the film is also not very long (130 minutes). We are also aware that there is a heavy rush of releases this week. That is why we didn’t go for a wide release. The plexes are still working on it, and the back-and-forth is still going on.”He added, “We want to build upon the word of mouth and then increase showcasing, as we believe the film will have long legs at the box office.”The film also features Sapna Pabbi, Sanya Malhotra, and Saba Azad in pivotal roles. The movie was released in cinemas on June 5, 2026.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
