Major Indian cities like the National Capital Region, Mumbai, and Bengaluru showed robust ticket purchasing.
Internationally, the film's pre-release business has also seen considerable momentum, with overseas advance sales reportedly reaching approximately US$5.6 million.

However, the film might face competition in southern markets from regional releases.
