According to Sacnilk, the crime drama earned ₹13 crore on the opening day at the box office in India, with approximately ₹8.75 crore in Telugu. The film was expected to perform well both in Telugu and Tamil languages, but the actor witnessed a shocking low opening in the latter. The film couldn't even surpass Tamil-language action drama Raayan's opening day collection, which was ₹15.7 crore in India.

In Hindi, the film is facing tough competition from Aamir Khan's starrer Sitaare Zameen Par. The Hindi version witnessed overall 6.73 per cent occupancy on Friday, June 20, whereas Khan's film had an overall 21.43 per cent occupancy.

With positive word of mouth, the film might witness a hike in collections over the weekend.
