The initial reception to the film has turned out to be good and several netizens are calling it as the "best film of Akshay Kumar's career." Recently, Akshay Kumar gave an interview to film journalist Bharadwaj Rangan, and it was then that he made a shocking statement, saying certain people in the industry feel good when his movies don't do well.
"Yeah, it (scrutiny) is there. People love seeing it when 4-5 films don't work?"
Hearing this, Bharadwaj Rangan said, "People love it. What does that mean?
"People love seeing it. I have seen it myself. People are happy ki mera yeh picture nahi chala, other people are happy. Main aapko ek chota sa kissa sunata hu, I wouldn't name the channel. So I was walking recently on the red carpet, lot of channels were there, ek channel wale ne mere uppar mic rakha aur pucha, 'Akshay ji aapki last 4 filmein nahi chali, aapko kaisa lag raha hai?"
