Director Kabir Khan recently spoke about the film's slow start at the box office. On the opening collections, he told Bollywood Hungama, “It is too early to say what the reasons are, but post COVID, it has become very difficult to analyse logically what is happening in terms of behaviour. The opening was definitely lower than what we all were expecting because of the tremendous response to the trailer, to the song units that were out. So one would expect a slightly healthier opening, but that didn’t pan out the way we wanted to.”
