According to the Box Office India, the response towards 'Radhe' in the overseas market is 40% less than Salman's previous Eid release 'Bharat' in 2019. Due to the pandemic, the movie has a 50% occupancy in key markets.

During his interaction with the media, while talking about the box-office figures for 'Radhe', Salman said, "We may get the lowest numbers with Radhe. We would lose money on Radhe and box office collections are going to be almost zero but we are still going ahead with Radhe."
