Is Ranbir going to outshine Ranveer yet again? 😭

I thought it was the All India rights. World Wide rights for 110 Cr is dirt cheap. That must've been the cost of the film. So the producers profit is only coming from satellite, music & DVD. Can't be true.

Well hope the movie does well

I don't think this movie will touch 150 cr, in the best case scenario

M S Dhoni biopic made 120 cr, who will want to watch the Dutt biopic ?

Padmavati made 280cr. If Ranbir doesn't even do 200cr it would be embarrassing.
