 In all, the film collected Rs46 crore in its '''First Week.'''
 In its ''' second weekend ''' the film collected Rs 7.5 crores, indicating that it was running out of steam. At the end of its second Sunday its total earnings were Rs 53.50 crore, which makes the film a hit, but not a superhit. The film is unlikely to draw close to Kahaani’s Rs60 crore.
