Kyoki...the Gods at BOI said so😆😆...hmmm so what are going to do now?? wait we can believe and disbelieve BOI as per our convenience..😎...So lets believe when BOI says that HNY did not make 200 cr...but YES by all means we will doubt the status given to HNY by the same might BOI😆😆

I believe and follow only BOI for all actors and film collection, so I don't change it according to my convenience.Though that doesn't mean to blindly follow anything.If this movie would've been made in budget of 70-80 crore, still it had been a superhit and not a blockbuster. The movie has such huge budget and it did little profit.so how its superhit?
