The film’s business has been affected by the release of Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer ‘Thackeray‘ and Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi‘ last week.
According to the presumptions made by the Box Office India the third week will cross ₹35 crore net and then that race to ₹200 crores will be on with the fourth Friday being very crucial.
If the film crosses 200 crore mark, it will become the first film ever to go this far which is produced and released under the budget of ₹50 crores.
Aditya Dhar directorial has been financed by Ronnie Screwvala and it stars Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina, Paresh Rawal, and Kirti Kulhari.
The film is based on the surgical strike carried out on September 29, 2016, by the Indian Army in answer to the Uri terror attack which killed 19 unarmed army men. The strike destroyed several terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control and killed around 50 terrorists.
