Film will bring back blockbuster pair of actor - director after 17 years.
PRDP will release in record number of screens close to 4500. Though film has length of 2 hour 44 minutes still it will get ample shows all over as its kind of solo festive release. Though it will face some competition from few major regional releases but that is always the case every year. Film has huge appeal among masses and music did work across the board.
Advance bookings for the film started few days back and film has received huge response. Almost 30% tickets have been sold in places like Mumbai, Pune and Gurgaon followed by strong trends in Jaipur, Lucknow and Surat. It will have advance booking in range of 15-18 cr by end of tomorrow which means it will run to capacity throughout the weekend and word of mouth or reviews will only affect from Tuesday onwards.
Film should easily clock 130 cr nett over weekend which will be a huge number. Overall another big blockbuster on the cards and this might go all the way to break all the records.
