Meanwhile, Brahmastra's opening day numbers gave hope to distributors and exhibitors. Going by the opening day business, the Rs 410-crore movie seems to break into the Rs 100-crore club at the end of its first weekend, but its big test will be Monday as reviews are not just as great hence word of mouth will play a crucial role in pulling the audience to cinema halls.
