It's only at ₹103 cr net, but it needs to cross ₹170 cr to be considered a hit, since the budget was ₹120 cr.

The budget was ₹120 cr and the worldwide gross is about ₹140 cr. How is it being called a hit? And please don't bring up OTT or satellite rights.

But it's an under‑performer; I expected it to cross ₹200 cr.

Weren't they promoting it as a spiritual successor to Bhool Bhulaiyaa?

Unfortunately it's a middling film. Akshay can only carry it for a short while, the music is terrible, and the writing is weak.

People jump on the hype, but after watching it they feel huge disappointment.

If its run stays under ₹200 cr, it will be just an average grosser. I don't see how it's called a hit.
