The film, which hit theaters on April 30, had a quiet start in the morning shows. However, positive word-of-mouth and strong evening and night shows contributed to the spike in numbers. The film's performance in multiplexes and single screens in Karnataka and other key markets helped it achieve a respectable opening day figure.

Audience and Critical Response
