During the day, the film struggled to attract audiences to theatres, recording an overall occupancy rate of only 8.90 per cent in the Hindi market. The morning shows saw a meagre 5.34 per cent occupancy and the numbers barely improved throughout the day, with the afternoon screenings registering 9.22 per cent and the evening and night shows recording 9.30 per cent and 11.72 per cent, respectively.

Also starring Ajay Devgn, Diana Penty, Mohit Malik, Piyush Mishra and Natasha Rastogi in key roles, Azaad marks Abhishek Kapoor’s return to direction after a four-year hiatus since Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021), featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles. Known for launching newcomers like Sushant Singh Rajput in Kai Po Che (2013) and Sara Ali Khan in Kedarnath (2018), Kapoor is unlikely to be able to replicate that success for Aaman and Rasha, particularly given the film’s massive budget. His previous directorials include Aryan (2006), Rock On!! (2008) and Fitoor (2016).

In her review of the movie, SCREEN’s Shubhra Gupta wrote, “Why are such films still being made in 2025? And is Abhishek Kapoor, who made the terrific ‘Kai Po Che’ and ‘Rock On’, really the director of this mothballed exercise?”
