• Impact of Cinema Lovers Day

Both films witnessed a boost in collections on November 29 due to Cinema Lovers Day, where several theatres in select cities priced tickets at just Rs 99 for all shows. This initiative played a crucial role in revitalising footfalls, particularly for films in their fourth week. Industry experts believe such initiatives help prolong a film's theatrical run, especially during periods of declining daily collections.
