The team behind Secret Soldier says the film is beginning to find its audience after release, with encouraging reactions coming in from regular viewers across several centres.
According to the makers, some of the strongest responses are for Nihal Kodhaty’s performance, the interval portions, the emotional thread, the visuals and the climax twist.
The film’s grounded spy treatment and friendship angle are also receiving positive feedback from sections of the audience.
For the production team, the focus now is not on making exaggerated success claims, but on helping the film reach more viewers through genuine word of mouth.
Secret Soldier was always expected to depend more on audience discovery than on star-driven opening numbers.
The team is therefore concentrating on retaining shows at key multiplexes and prime locations, while also highlighting authentic audience reactions and theatre feedback through the weekend.
The makers feel that viewers who have watched the film are responding more warmly than the mixed pre-release and review conversation may have suggested.
The challenge now is to convert that response into stronger footfalls on Saturday and Sunday.
From the production side, the message is simple: the film has been made with conviction, and the team now wants audiences to experience it and decide for themselves.
For Secret Soldier, the next phase is all about wider reach, stronger word of mouth and sustained theatrical presence.
