Despite middling to poor reviews, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan made over Rs 68 crore at the end of its first weekend, powered by its lead actor. Sunday's contribution to ticket sales totalled Rs 26.61 crore. Weekend earnings – over Rs 25 crore on Saturday and over Rs 26 crore on Sunday - showed a spike from the film's opening day collection of Rs 15.81 crore and much of the growth came from mass circuits.
The real box office test for Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan begins today, according to Taran Adarsh.
