Condition of the first day: Earnings remained sluggish
Early box office trends suggest that Farhan Akhtar’s war-drama did not get the opening that was expected. According to trade analysts, the film made around Rs. Rs 2.35 crore Have done business.
Considering such a big star cast and such an emotional topic, it is being considered to have a very slow start. Looking at this, it seems that the audience did not come to the theater on Friday.
Is the picture still pending? (ray of hope)

‘120 Bahadur’ is getting good reviews from critics. People who have seen the film are calling it a hair-raising experience. Especially Farhan Akhtar’s acting and the battle scenes of Rejang-La are being discussed a lot.
Eyes set on the weekend

But if theaters remain empty even on weekends, it can become a matter of concern for the makers. For now, all that can be said is that this story of the brave soldiers of the country should get a little more love. Let’s see what the public decides on Saturday!
