The makers had introduced a Valentine’s Day special “Buy One Get One” ticket offer on Monday, which helped draw crowds to multiplexes and single-screen cinemas in several cities. Despite the promotional boost, collections dipped compared with the strong weekend performance, reflecting a typical weekday slowdown.

Day-wise box office collection:

• Friday: ₹9.01 crore

• Saturday: ₹14.50 crore

• Sunday: ₹11.00 crore

• Monday: ₹5.10 crore

Total (4 days): ₹39.61 crore

Trade analysts note that while the film opened on a solid footing and maintained strong footfall through the weekend, sustaining that pace during weekdays will be a challenge. Future performance is expected to depend largely on audience word-of-mouth and competition from upcoming releases.

Industry observers say the coming week will be crucial in determining whether the film can maintain a stable run or witness sharper declines.
