The trade analyst shared tweets mentioning the ticket count and said, "Observations.. Tickets sold: 11,558 [veryyy positive start, since advance opened at select locations only]. 

Hoping for the revival of Hindi films after back-to-back flops, Taran said that the film "Needs to maintain the pace till Thursday night for a strong advance status.” 

Taran further stated, "Mass circuits and spot bookings [when the film releases] will play an extremely vital role in *Day 1* [Fri] numbers." He added that the Saturday and Sunday business will depend on the audience's reception. 

'Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva' is the first part of the trilogy series that will mark the beginning of Bollywood's own cinematic universe, the Astraverse.

We are out of them. We are now proudly part of Indian cinema. Each and every film will now be from Indian cinema, producer Karan Johar said at a promotional event of the movie on Friday.
