Siddharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor's new release, Param Sundari, has had a good start at the box office on its opening day. While the film's trailer did not receive a particularly b response and Janhvi's character faced some criticism, it appears this has not significantly impacted the film's earnings.
Param Sundari Box Office Day 1: Bollywood stars Siddharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor's new film 'Param Sundari' has made a spectacular debut at the box office on its opening day. The film earned ₹7.25 crore upon its release on August 28. If this earning pace continues, the film could potentially recover its budget in the next one to two weeks.
Audience Response and the Film's Initial Standing
'Param Sundari' did not receive a very b response to its trailer prior to release. Furthermore, some criticism was also directed at Janhvi Kapoor's character. Despite this, the film has had a good start at the box office, especially considering that the animated film 'Mahavatar Narasimha' has been dominating for 35 consecutive days. Additionally, big films like 'War 2' and 'Coolie' are not holding as much sway with audiences' preferences. In this scenario, 'Param Sundari' is being seen as a breath of fresh air for moviegoers.
The film is directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Maddock Films. Maddock Films has previously delivered hit films such as 'Stree', 'Bhediya', and 'Munjya'.
Box Office Figures
According to reports, 'Param Sundari' grossed a total of ₹7.25 crore on its opening day. The film's budget is estimated to be between ₹40-50 crore. If the film continues to earn approximately ₹7 crore daily, recovering its budget within one to two weeks is a possibility. The occupancy figures for the first day were as follows:
- Morning Shows: 8.19%
- Afternoon Shows: 11.45%
- Evening Shows: 12.27%
- Night Shows: 19.77%
Can 'Param Sundari' Become a Sleeper Hit?
The start is good, but the film's future success will depend on the audience's response. The film showcases elements and culture from South India. This might slightly limit the film's reach to audiences in the Hindi belt. Nevertheless, there are some positive aspects for 'Param Sundari': it is a film worth watching for family audiences.
There are no major new releases in the coming weeks, which will give the film an opportunity to perform well at the box office. Experts believe that if the film benefits from good reviews and word-of-mouth, it could become a sleeper hit, similar to films like 'Saiyara' in the past.
