Even before its official release, the movie already set a record with its RM650 thousand collection during its sneak previews on 8 August. The next day, it set the record for the highest opening day collection as it made RM1.8 million.
As of 12 August, the movie broke another record, collecting RM9 million and making it the first local movie to reach the milestone after just 4 days.
