Well, the film might not have been able to breach the 25 crore mark, but it is performing fairly well. Now, one has to wait and see if it manages to stay afloat at the box office over the week. The film released on 29th July, a day after Vikrant Rona. It has not been getting much competition from the Kiccha Sudeepa starrer too, thus helping the film to fare well.
