The film has almost exhausted its run everywhere but the Hindi version is still on a dream run and is virtually making up the all India collection now. The Hindi dubbed version is set to cross Rs. 100 crores Nett mark this weekend, which is beyond the most optimistic imaginations anyone could have had on the day film was released. The film has hugely benefitted from the open run and one can say that the CoVID restrictions in parts of India actually benefitted the film, driving out the competition. The cinemas were shut down in places like Delhi city or NCR (Haryana) which were anyways not collecting much for the film but cinema shutdown here moved the competition out, which in turn boosted the run in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where cinemas remained open and were making lion's share of film's collection. Cinemas will be opening in Delhi today and now that is going to further add to collections of the film.
