While there isn't much buzz surrounding the film as the Sanju fever hasn't declined, a positive word-of-mouth post the film's release might work in its favour. The trailer received favorable reviews from the fans and critics but the songs haven't exactly caught the pulse of the audience. Will Soorma turn the tide in its favour? Here's what the industry experts have to say-

He further said that will open with good numbers in Punjab and Northern markets as Diljit enjoys a huge fan base there. But to work well in the other circuits, the positive word of mouth from the audience will play a crucial role for the film. Soorma is also important for director Shaad Ali as his previous films like Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Kill Dil and OK Jaanu failed to work at the box office. The film will also face a stiff competition from Hollywood release Ant-Man and the Wasp, which has garnered immense buzz due to its link with the Avengers.
