Further, Boxofficeindia.com noted, "The film looked like it had the potential of a 400 crore nett total after the first 4-5 days but there seems a fixed audience for the film and most of it came in the initial period. It will be the most watched Hollywood film in India which makes it the biggest blockbuster ever. The film is probably targetting the 375 crore nett mark though even that depends where the third Friday lands."
Directed by Russo Brothers, the 22nd Marvel movie is the last film in the Avengers franchise and could also end up becoming the highest grossing film of all time by beating Avatar at the global box office.
