The initial business of the film was hit due to the recently concluded Indian Premier League but John Abraham's film has been able to walk past the rough period with ease and will be able to put up Rs 36 crore by the end of week one (as reported by Taran Adarsh).
 

In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave Parmanu 1.5 stars out of 5."The Parmanu script, which unabashedly attributes the success of India's nuclear programme to one prime minister and his chief scientific adviser, serves a deliberate, blatantly lopsided, please-the-current-powers-that-be purpose. It suggests that nobody in India had ever thought of tapping nuclear power as a means to ensuring both security and peace for the nation," he wrote.

Talking about success of the film, John told IANS recently: "I am thankful to audience and media because they have appreciated our film. Abhishek (Sharma) and me, both of us are feeling very relieved and happy that this film worked at the box-office.
