Club
Will it enter the 100-cr club?
According to some trade analysts, the film would make its way to the 100-cr club right in its first week.
The transition from 100 to 200 crore club can also happen smoothly, given the fact it has two weeks of field time without any major releases.
For Deepika Padukone, the lead actress, the reactions have been "phenomenal."
