Advani-starrer

earlier
this
week
on

lockdown
due
to

pandemic.
However,
with

opening
up
on

states,
Laxmii
could
be
one
of
the
first

will
also
get
a
theatrical
release
in
India.
Meanwhile,
trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
shared
a
tweet
on
Friday
(November

revealing
that
the
film
has
already
seen
a
theatrical
released
in
overseas
markets
like
U.A.E,
Australia,
New
Zealand
and
Fiji
in
a
limited
capacity.

tweet
read,

Earlier
the

fans
from

Who
doesn't
love
beating
records
-
whether
it's
at
the
box-office
or
opening
night
on
streaming
platforms.
Nothing
is
comparable
to
this
feeling
of
euphoria."
