With its conspicuous absence of promotions and its trailer, Ittefaq had already created a lot of buzz before its release. In India, thriller movies hardly get an upper hand at the box office but Ittefaq's positive reviews and word-of-mouth helped in the movie's growth at the box office.

 

The suspense drama revolves around two murder cases and two different suspects with conflicting versions of the events of the night. All the three leads of the movie, Sonakshi Sinha, Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna have been praised by film critics as well as audiences.

Ittefaq is getting tough competition from this week's Hollywood release, Thor: Ragnarok and the earlier Bollywood release Golmaal Again. Both the films are doing good business at the box office.
