Box office success
Film eyes all-time gross records
The film's four-day extended opening weekend continued the pace in India, with it crossing the ₹400 crore milestone in eight days.
It is now eyeing the all-time gross records held by Avatar: The Way of Water and Avengers: Endgame.
Gautam Dutta, CEO of revenue and operations at PVR Inox Limited, praised the film's outstanding response.
"What has been particularly encouraging is not just the scale of the opening weekend, but the breadth of audience participation across markets," he told Variety.
Regional impact

The film's success was driven by its linguistic versatility and penetration across India's regional circuits.
The English version led theatrical collections with a 55% occupancy rate, while the Hindi dubbed version saw an extraordinary 95% occupancy.
Southern regional language dubs in Telugu and Tamil also contributed to the film's momentum in key circuits.
It has sold over six million tickets on BookMyShow, further solidifying its box office dominance.
