Singh.

Kicking off with ₹4 crore on Friday, the film saw a 16% rise on Saturday, collecting ₹4.65 crore according to Sacnilk. Early Sunday estimates suggest steady earnings, bringing the weekend total to ₹13.30 crore net in India. Consistent box office momentum highlights its strong audience appeal.
