While the industry has given a thumbs up to the film, the reviews have been mild with most critics complaining of a predictable screenplay. But what remains a fact — a unanimous verdict — is Irrfan’s inimitable acting prowess that steers the film through the end. Ajay Devgn’s serious drama Raid also roared into the 100-crore-club, becoming the fourth entrant of this year.
Rani Mukerji-led Hichki has also fared well at the Indian box office, minting Rs 50 lakh in its third week which takes its total to an impressive Rs 38.90 crore.
