Trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted the collection on Twitter.

Total: ₹ 78.34 cr. #India biz. #KBKJ is enjoying a terrific run in mass pockets/Hindi belt, which is clearly driving its biz… #SalmanKhan’s star power is, of course, the icing on the cake… The film should stay strong in mass circuits in days to come, looking at the current trends.”

Despite bad reviews from all quarters, Salman’s fans have proved their loyalty toward the actor, making him a strong draw at the box office irrespective of the quality of the film.
The film features an ensemble cast including Telugu actor Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla, Vijender Singh, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Jassie Gill, Shehnaaz Gill, Palak Tiwari and Vinali Bhatnagar.
However, despite an ensemble cast and Salman in the headline, the film got panned by critics and a large section of the audience.
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan review
ABP Live’s review of the film reads, “Despite having an impressive cast, the writers scarcely give the characters any soul, leading to a mishmash of characters and flimsy subplots.
The North-meets-South romance barely works due to a handful of amusing moments that naturally fall into place. But for the most part, the narrative’s dragged humor makes for some intolerably awful bits. Although the plot matches up to that in several Bollywood flicks in this genre, the well-choreographed action sequences were the film’s redeeming grace.
When it comes to the performances, Salman Khan does well in the violent, bloody fight scenes but fumbles in the more nuanced ones. On the other side, Pooja Hedge, who serves a little more than merely a prop, does fairly well in her screen time. As “Rowdy Anna,” Daggubati Venkatesh holds the fort for the whole of his screen time, and when Khan’s character is in the same frame, he nearly eats him up.” Click here to read the complete review
