Girish Johar had earlier predicted that 102 Not Out, despite its starry cast, will not be able to set the cash registers ringing. “With industry stalwarts like Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan starring in the movie, 102 Not Out has generated quite the buzz around its release. Its trailer was also received well by the audience. But the fact remains that the film will have a fairly limited release as it only caters to the tier-one cities and the so-called multiplex audiences,” the trade analyst had said.

The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer had given an average review to 102 Not Out. “There are laughs to be had from that, sure, especially the “love letter” that Dattatraya makes Babulal write to his late wife. But when it gets to forcing Babulal to cut little ducks out of a beloved Kashmiri blanket, it gets a little too infantile. Meanwhile, Bachchan’s accent, more Bengali than the intended Gujarati, keeps distracting,” her review read.

Meanwhile, giving the desi films a run for their money is Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War, which since its release (April 27) has been breaking records left, right, and center.
