Radhe Shyam, made on a budget of nearly Rs 300 crore, has to show significant growth in ticket sales in the coming days to break even. Responding to the film’s theatrical run, director Radha Krishna Kumar had earlier tweeted, “Thank u all for the tremendous response. We made the movie with love and your pouring your love back. It’s not the reviews it’s the result which matters.”
