As per Adarsh, the film shown more than 30% jump in collections on Sunday. It has earned Rs 11.30 crore in its opening weekend.

It’s a solid elevation and if the film manages to sustain the momentum, then its first week figures could well be above Rs 20 crore. That’s a good return for a film made on a moderate budget.
