Week One - Had third highest collections of the week behind Half Girlfriend and Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion
Week Two - Again third highest after Sachin - A Billion Dreams and Pirates Of The Carribean - Salazars Revenge. Beat both films (Half Girlfriend and Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion) who were ahead in week one.
Week Three - Second highest after Wonder Woman. Beat both films (Sachin - A Billion Dreams and Pirates Of The Carribean - Salazars Revenge) who were ahead in week two.
Week Four - Same pattern as likes of Raabta and Mummy will be ahead. But it may go ahead of Wonder Woman which was better in week three.
The film is a rare sleeper hit which has succeeded despite never leading the box office race.
