According to a statement issued on behalf of the film's makers, it "scored a massive number over the weekend, showing a huge jump and collecting Rs 24.10 crore on Sunday (Oct 2)".

On its opening day on Friday (September 30), the movie minted Rs 21.3 crore, and on the following day, it made Rs 20.6 crore. Its Sunday collections have taken the total to Rs 66 crore.

"Owing to an overwhelming word of mouth from across the city, the weekend total is Rs 66 crore nett," read the statement.
