Boxoffy VerdictBlockbuster
Temper earned the Blockbuster verdict — a film that significantly exceeded its break-even point and delivered strong returns for all stakeholders. With ₹67 Cr India nett against a reported budget of ₹40 Cr, representing a 168% return on production cost, the film demonstrates the rare combination of wide audience reach and sustained theatrical momentum. A Blockbuster in Indian cinema is not just profitable — it is a film that found a genuine mass audience and kept them coming back.
