The fireworks went on for over a minute, posing a threat to the lives of the audience present inside the cinemall hall. The video showed the audience panicking and running to a safe space to escape the fire.

After an FIR was registered, Salman Khan took to his X handle, commented on the incident, and urged his fans to put their and others lives at risk.

Ranbir Kapoor is being hailed for his stellar performance, and the film is deemed to have a thunderous opening as it is estimated it could earn Rs 100 crore worldwide gross on day 1, with Rs 55 crore plus coming from the domestic market, stated trade analyst Ramesh Bala.
