xXx: Return of Xander Cage released in India on January 14, a week before its worldwide release. The film received mixed to negative response from Indian critics. However, Deepika's action avatar in her Hollywood debut won many hearts.
After its India release, xXx: Return of Xander Cage released worldwide on January 19. The film, which is clashing with M. Night Shyamalan's Split in theatres, is expected to take a lead at the box office in its opening weekend at the US-Canada box office.
