A Better Start Than Haq
Rs 3 crore may not sound huge, but it’s a clear step up from Haq, which opened at Rs 1.75 crore. Trade trackers expect decent growth over the weekend, with a first-weekend total of about Rs 10 crore.
There’s a catch, though. Early word of mouth is mixed, and Pinkvilla flags that as a concern for the makers. The film is also sharing screens with big releases like Jailer 2, Prahaar and Whalefall. The real test will be how it holds on Monday.
What’s the Story?
A troubled household sees its luck change after a mysterious bride joins the family. Her seemingly miraculous abilities bring peace and prosperity, but one family member is convinced she’s a supernatural witch. As strange events pile up, the film asks whether she’s an evil force or a protector caught in a bigger fight between good and evil.
