Day 12 brings a shocking fall

This means it could not even touch Rs 1 crore on that day.This sudden fall showed that the film completely lost its hold on the audience. What started as a huge festival release ended up struggling badly in just less than two weeks.
Language-wise numbers tell a sad story

It earned only Rs 23.51 crore.The other language versions did even worse. The Tamil version earned just Rs 1.09 crore. Kannada collected only Rs 39 lakh. Malayalam was the lowest with just Rs 23 lakh.
Review says what went wrong
Along with Prabhas the film stars Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab. The cast was strong. The idea was new. But execution became the main problem.The ETimes review clearly points this out. It says, “Prabhas appears comfortable in the role, embracing a lighter, flamboyant persona with relaxed confidence. His screen presence, timing and easy charm remain the film’s biggest draw, and fans are likely to enjoy watching him inhabit a space designed to foreground swagger over emotional intensity. That said, the film’s frequent pauses to spotlight star moments occasionally come at the cost of narrative momentum, making certain portions feel drawn out rather than impactful.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
