The film maintained its momentum on the second day, with Saturday’s earnings totalling Rs 9.60 crore, according to ‘Sacnilk’. In India, the film’s total collection now stands at Rs 19.88 crore.

Before Alia’s post, Kriti Sanon shared a heartfelt message for her co-stars and the team behind ‘Crew’ on ‘Instagram’. She expressed, “This crew has my heart. I have admired these two women for years and it’s been such a pleasure performing with two of the most iconic performers our industry has ever had! I never felt like a junior on set and didn’t behave like one either!! It was always three individual women and three different actors coming together as a team to create chemistry you’ve never seen before while having a blast!”
