Worldwide collections have already crossed ₹239 crore, making it a global hit.
Perfect Timing Fuels Success
The film released on January 23, perfectly timed with the Republic Day long weekend. Fans flocked to cinemas nationwide, drawn by the film’s patriotic theme and stellar performances. The combination of a holiday release and strong storytelling contributed to its rapid box office growth.

Strong Word of Mouth and Star Power
The film earned ₹121 crore in its first three days, and positive word of mouth has encouraged repeat viewings. The star-studded cast—Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty—has been praised for bringing energy and authenticity to this story set during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
