Day 1 collections stood at ₹6.55 crore nett in India, with robust overseas performance pushing the global tally to over ₹13.75 crore.
Saturday brought a slight uptick to ₹6.85-7 crore nett domestically, as the film crossed ₹24-28 crore worldwide, buoyed by North American markets.
Sunday added ₹6.40-6.5 crore nett, resulting in a three-day India nett of ₹19.80-20 crore and worldwide gross around ₹34.77-37 crore.
