The movie also stars Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sonakshi Sinha and Nithya Menen in crucial roles. The movie has so far given good performance. However, the film's lifetime collection will depend on consistency in its collection. Another movie, John Abraham-starrer Batla House, which was also released recently is putting up good numbers at the box office.
