Taran Adrash took to X and tweeted, “#VickyVidyaKaWohWalaVideo starts off well, though there were expectations for a higher opening, particularly after the trailer garnered a strong positive response. Following the blockbuster success of #Stree2, there were expectations that #VVKWWV would open close to double digits, especially with #RajkummarRao headlining the cast. Mass circuits fared well [has scope to grow], while the urban centres performed decent/good. The numbers are expected to see a boost today [Saturday] thanks to the #Dussehra holiday, with Sunday likely to continue the upward trend... However, it’s the make-or-break Monday that will be the real decider. [Week 1] Fri ₹ 5.71 cr. #India biz. Nett BOC. #Boxoffice”

For the Alia Bhatt starrer, he wrote, “#Jigra opens to lower-than-expected numbers, with a significant contribution from urban centres dominating the Day 1 biz, thanks to the star-power [#AliaBhatt]. As anticipated, the response from mass pockets is ordinary/lukewarm... An energetic start in the #Hindi heartland would've bolstered the opening day performance. Looking ahead, the #Dussehra holiday today [Saturday] should help offset the initial shortfall... Sunday is also expected to provide a much-needed boost to the numbers. Monday, however, will offer a clearer picture of how well the film
'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' also boasts an ensemble cast including Vijay Raaz, Archana Puran Singh, Rakesh Bedi, Tiku Talsania, and Ashwini Kalsekar. Additionally, the film marks the return of Mallika Sherawat to the silver screen.
