ETT wasn't a patriotic movie either. It was about a rogue Raw agent eloping with an ISI agent, but people accepted it. Times were different. Today, you can't make such movies. It's like Hollywood making a movie sympathizing with America's enemies. It simply won't work.
Perception matters a whole lot. Since Salman's golden run ended with D3, he hasn't had a single commercial Hit. SRK fan-boy Harminder (of BOI) will declare this movie as Semi-Hit if it holds or Average if it doesn't. That is indeed embarrassing for Salman and Bollywood's biggest trilogy.
I just don't see how Salman returns to his 2010-19 form from this. He's heading the Dharmendra/Bachchan way.
