Key metros including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru recorded notable occupancy levels over the weekend setup.
With its energetic track “Aisi Meri Vibe” already making waves, the film brought its signature brand of madness to the big screen on September 18. Vibe’s Rs 2.25 crore opening marks a notable step up from Madgaon Express, driven by positive audience reception for its blend of comedy, action, and pure theatrical entertainment.
