Announced soon after the military strikes by the Indian Army in Pakistani Kashmir, on 19 October 2016,[6] the film premiered on 8 February 2017 in Mumbai and was released on 10 February.[7][8] Like its predecessors, the film was panned by critics and was a commercial failure. From a 120 million (US$1.4 million) budget, its gross is often disputed.[3]
