₹85–90 Cr India Net — Day 1 Floor
"Solo release + Eid + trailer storm = historic opening. Advance booking pace: ALL-TIME." Posted post-Toxic postponement. Conservative nett figure — the cleanest benchmark in the trade.

@SumitkadeI · Trade Analyst
₹80–100 Cr Day 1 · ₹1,000 Cr India Lifetime
Boldest call in the industry. Paid previews: ₹15–30 Cr nett alone. 4-day Eid: ₹350–400 Cr India. WW lifetime: ₹1,700–2,000 Cr — which would make it the highest-grossing Indian film ever.
