Earnings Summary
The film’s performance has seen a stark contrast from its earlier weeks, where it garnered substantial revenue. The fifth week has thus far contributed only approximately ₹21 crore, significantly lower than the ₹68 crore collected in the fourth week.

OTT Release
The film is expected to be available for streaming on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix approximately two months after its theatrical release, targeting a mid-February release date.
Upcoming Challenges
