The film had opened bit higher than the expectations at Rs 8.20 crore and unlike other films, didn’t slow down post the weekend. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film also stars Yami Gautam, Kirti Kulhari, Mohit Raina and Paresh Rawal. The film is also based on the surgical strikes carried out by India in Pakistani territory in 2016. This is also Vicky’s biggest solo film. He had featured in five films last year including Raazi, Manmarziyaan and Sanju besides two solo films - - Love Per Square Foot and Lust Stories that released on Netflix.

Earlier, film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi had told HT, “For every actor, there is a journey from where he goes from being an actor to a star. Vicky is on that journey. He has done such characters so far that people relate to him, identify him courtesy movies like Sanju and Raazi among others. People know that Vicky is a good actor and now that he is established and people recognise him, it is time to play on the front foot and do movies where the onus of recovery is on Vicky besides the content. The content of the film can help Vicky catapult himself in the league of stars very soon.”
