Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh has shared the numbers and tweeted, ''#EkVillainReturns reaps the benefit of franchise factor, opens better at
single screens of mass pockets and Tier-2 centres... Metros - especially national chains - need to gather momentum... Days 2 and 3 crucial... Fri ₹ 7.05 cr. #India biz.''

However, the expectations from the film were high but like the previous Bollywood films, seems like the future of Arjun Kapoor's film is in
doubt.

The film's song has so far gained a good response from the audience but looks like netizens are also not impressed with the thriller. Some have slammed the bad writting, and screenplay while others were disappointed by the cast performance.
