Box office[]

The film broke several box office records and In the fifth week of its theatrical run, it became the highest-grossing film in Iran (until it was surpassed by Motreb). The film became a major box office success in Iran, grossing 30 billion toman in less than 2 months, and surpassing 4 million ticket sales in its first 45 days. It became the first Iranian movie to gross over 30 billion toman in Iran, in the seventh week of its release.[7][8]

Home media[]

The film was released on a home media as a two-part film, each part lasting 90 minutes (the first part on 5 March and the second part on 13 March 2019). This caused protests and dissatisfaction from people. Critics said this was unusual and not enough information had been provided to buyers. Finally, the film distribution company stated that the reason for this was to increase the film duration from 122 minutes to 197 minutes and to add behind-the-scenes footage.[9]
