Around 50-60% occupancy in an 7:30 am show!! That's brilliant.
Director Vivek Agnihotri wished the film success, and quipped that if viewers fail to procure _Bharat’_s tickets, they have the option of watching his film, The Tashkent Files.
Wishing all the best to team #Bharat
— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) June 5, 2019
If you don’t get tickets of Bharat, you can always watch #TheTashkentFiles
Book in advance because it’s also running houseful into its 8th week.
Twitterati praised Bharat as an “old-school drama” that’s high on the emotional quotient.
#Bharat has been seen. Loved a @BeingSalmanKhan film after Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Emotions are strong and my eyes got moist atleast 2-3 times. Just wanted to go and hug Bharat at that time.
— Filmy Gautam (@filmygautam) June 5, 2019
It's interval! #Bharat is really good so far. There's a lot of old school drama which is unrelatable but emotion is a big plus. Emotion is where the film digs right. @BeingSalmanKhan is a treat. #KatrinaKaif is decent.
— Filmy Gautam (@filmygautam) June 5, 2019
If the juvenile gags stop #Bharat might just be @BeingSalmanKhan and @aliabbaszafar's best collaboration so far... It has all the right emotions in place and genuinely heart-touching moments @DMmovies
