The film released on a Thursday, coinciding with the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Positive word of mouth and critical acclaim are expected to benefit the film.
Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the movie stars Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani.
The opening collection is considered decent, although the holiday factor influenced it.
