The film was released with mixed reception from masses and critics, and it tanked at the box office. During an exclusive chat with Ranbir, when asked what kind of mental space is he in, given that he was returning onscreen after four years and since his last onscreen outing in 2018 much had changed in his personal life, Ranbir Kapoor told DNA, "Professionally its the same. I've been working on these films (Shamshera and Brahmastra) for the last 4-5 years. Personally, it's a very different feeling. it's something I've never experienced before. So, I can't compare that to my movies. But sitting here today, as far as Shamshera is concerned, there's a lot of anxiety, nervousness and a lot of excitement." Shamshera is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video
