Baadshaho finally hit the theatres on September 1. The film is set on the backdrop of the Emergency period. Directed by Milan Luthra, Baadshaho stars Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Ileana D'Cruz, Esha Gupta, Vidyut Jammwal and Sanjay Mishra as the leads. 

This action drama is made at a budget of INR 80 crore (COP+PnA). The producers have recovered INR 85 crore already from satellite, digital music and overseas rights (INR 44 crore) and India distribution (INR 41 crore) leading to a 5 crore profit on its opening day. 

The film started on a good note and had a positive first weekend collection. According to a trade site, Baadshaho has minted INR 36.5 crore at the ticket windows in three days of its release. Going by the production figures, the film has collected INR 43.4 crore in its first weekend. 

Milan Luthria, earlier talking about box-office numbers, had stated, "No, I do not feel the pressure of that, but yes like many filmmakers, even I want my film to get good numbers at the box office. I think our Indian audience have equated Rs 100 crore as a century of a cricketer. No matter how many times you have scored 99 runs, if you have not done 100s, you are not a successful player. It’s sad. Honestly, personally, I am dead against it.” 

Talking about the ensemble cast, the director had said, “Emraan Hashmi was perfect as the crook, who can’t be trusted yet is an extremely resourceful guy; Ileana D’Cruz as the princess who is a misfit and wants to explore the world; Esha [Gupta] as the sexy and tough girl; Vidyut [Jammwal] as an Army guy with the best physique in town, someone who could take on Ajay’s and Emraan’s characters; and Sanjay Mishra as the old, wise guy who has seen the world.”
