“The film is doing exceptionally well in North India like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab,” he said.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the film has earned over Rs 40 crore on Wednesday, which was day one of release. He tweeted that final numbers are yet to come up and it will only get better from here for the wrestling drama. Adarsh predicted a “historic” five-day weekend for the film.
