The Ghazi Attack, based on an episode in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, collected Rs 4.25 crore on Day 1. The film released in three languages and collected a little above Rs 1 crore in Hindi language.

The Ghazi Attack, a war-based film, has almost entirely been shot underwater and also stars Taapsee Pannu, Kay kay Menon and Atul Kulkarni. It is later actor Om Puri's first film released posthumously this year. He will also be seen in Salman Khan's Tubelight and Gurinder Chadha's Viceroy's House.

Taran Adarsh gave the box collection report for The Ghazi Attack:
 

#TheGhaziAttack Fri 1.65 cr. Note: Hindi version... All versions: 4.25 cr... Excellent word of mouth should ensure a jump in biz.
