The film posted a decent recovery on Day 9 after a softer eighth day. The ₹2.25Cr figure shows that the comedy is still finding audiences, particularly over the weekend. While the overall trajectory remains modest, the film has avoided a steep collapse, which is a positive sign for a mid-budget entertainer.

David Dhawan’s signature style of situational humour and light-hearted romance continues to work for family audiences. Varun Dhawan’s energetic performance remains the biggest draw. The film is performing relatively better in North India, where its clean, mass-friendly content is resonating well.

Market-wise, multiplexes in major cities have seen a sharper drop compared to single-screen and smaller centres. The film’s clean content and family appeal have helped it maintain a floor, even if it hasn’t generated the kind of excitement seen in some of David Dhawan’s bigger hits.

With a current 0.74x ratio, the film is still in a recovery phase. A stronger weekend and positive word-of-mouth could help it improve its final numbers.

Reality check: ₹2.25Cr on Day 9 gives a current 0.74x ratio. The film is holding better than its opening suggested but still needs stronger momentum to improve its verdict.
