The much-anticipated comeback directorial of Aishwarya Rajinikanth, ‘Lal Salaam,’ hit theaters with high expectations, but initial reports suggest that even the presence of superstar Rajinikanth couldn’t rescue the superficial social drama. The film, centered around a cricket rivalry escalating into religious tensions, earned a modest 3 out of 5 ratings from our critic. While Rajinikanth’s cameo generated initial buzz, it failed to translate into significant box office numbers, making only Rs 4.30 crore on the opening day.
