According to early estimates, the movie garnered Rs 1 crore nett on its opening day in India. Pankaj portrayed the role of the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and viewers have praised his performance. The film seems to garner pace in the upcoming days with positive word of mouth.
Main Atal Hoon had an overall 9.39 per cent Hindi Occupancy on Friday, January 19, 2024. Recently, Pankaj opened up about his role in the film and said "The personality of Atal Bihari Vajpayee is such that it cannot be compared to present-day politicians. He was a poet... He was a leader whose staunchest enemies were also his admirers. I've learned that a person should be democratic from the inside; that even when I'm upset with you, I know deep down that I'm angry with you and you don't like me, but I still enjoy this. He motivates you to believe that everyone can do anything in life," he told ANI, Adding, "I was wondering if I could do justice to this. But I have attended two of Atal ji's political rallies. I went to listen to him, standing in the crowd five hundred metres away."
