Assi has registered a steady start at the box office, proving that when cinema speaks the truth, audiences do take notice. In its first 7 days, the film has collected ₹7.23 crore net in India, while its worldwide gross stands at ₹11.12 crore. For a hard-hitting, content-driven courtroom drama, these numbers reflect a fair response, driven more by word of mouth than commercial packaging.
Reviewed by Hit ya Flop with a 3/5 rating (Good) and tagged as “Not Easy to Watch, But Necessary to Witness,” the film has struck a chord for its bold and socially relevant narrative. Taapsee Pannu reunites with Anubhav Sinha to deliver a film that is heavy in impact and fearless in intent. The story demands attention, supported by hard-hitting dialogues, although the screenplay doesn’t always match the strength of its powerful subject.
Despite its uncomfortable theme, Assi is finding appreciation among audiences seeking meaningful cinema. It may not be an easy watch, but it is an important one, an urgent story that deserves to be experienced on the big screen.
Assi — An urgent watch, now in cinemas.
