On its first day, the film has collected Rs. 3.85 crores net approx (38.5 million). The film will have to depend a lot on word of mouth as only good reviews can help it thrive at the box office. The film’s run will depend a lot on its performance this Sunday.

As the film has a female protagonist as its lead, the films fate is dependent on whether or not audience like the story.

As the film faces no competition being the only major release this week, ‘Jazbaa’ has a better chance of performing well.
