The movie is set to become blockbuster soon. With mid-week holiday on account of Holi, it is likely to record new numbers and expected to enter Rs 100 crore club soon.
A day ago, Akshay Kumar thanked the leading starcast Anupam Kher & the movie crew for spellbinding movie and for turning out to be the biggest crowd-puller to theatres since pandemic era.
The movie has hit the raw nerve of thousands of displaced Kashmiris, who are still living in refugee camps hoping to return to their homeland someday in future. After 32 years of ‘ignorance’ & wretched life, they say, “we are able to connect with pain & agony that we went through and feel vindicated”.
