Since this isn’t a quintessential Salman Khan starrer, a lot comes down to how family audiences it up from this point on. While the production (Rajshri) has been lavish and marketing (Fox Star) perfect enough to entice audiences into theaters, the ball is now in the court of audiences. It has to be now seen that how far do they hit it out of the park in days to come.
