''The performance at major centres was strong from Day 1, but the excellent growth at Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres on Sat and Sun has silenced all naysayers, who felt it wouldn’t break into non-metro centres, especially the #Hindi circuits… Clearly indicates that super-strong word of mouth has come into play. #RRKPK needs to maintain the grip on the crucial make-or-break Day 4 [Mon]… And also stay strong on remaining weekdays.''

The romantic saga is facing quite a competition at the box office from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The biggest Hollywood releases are also performing outstandingly in theatres.
