Nithiin and Sreeleela’s highly-awaited action-comedy Robinhood released on March 29, 2025, but the movie had a slow opening at the box office, raking in only Rs 1.50 crore on day one. Although there was a good pre-release hype and promotion campaign, the movie did not bring in the desired footfalls.
Industry sources had anticipated a better opening for the movie, considering Nithiin’s dedicated fan base and the appeal of the action-comedy genre. But reviews so far have been mixed, with appreciation for its high-energy action scenes but disapproval for the formulaic plot.
