The new romantic comedy Param Sundari releases in theaters this Friday. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles. Industry experts are predicting a modest opening day collection.
Early ticket sales have not met initial expectations for the Maddock Films production. The film’s performance will be closely watched as a test for the romance genre’s resurgence.
Advance Booking Numbers Show Slow Momentum
Advance bookings for the film opened three days before its release. Initial sales showed a promising start with over 10,000 tickets sold on major platforms. However, that momentum reportedly slowed significantly as the release date neared.
Trade analysts note that romantic comedies often rely on strong word-of-mouth. A softer opening does not necessarily doom a film’s long-term prospects. The final pre-release sales push will be critical for its first-day figures.
Projected Day One Earnings Fall Short of Comparisons
Current trade estimates suggest an opening day collection between ₹7 to ₹9 crore. This would be a respectable figure for a film of this genre. Yet, it falls far short of recent benchmarks.
The recent hit Saiyaara opened to a massive ₹21 crore last month. Param Sundari’s projection is less than half of that number. Its opening is also expected to be just slightly higher than the ₹7.20 crore earned by Bhool Chuk Maaf.
Film’s Success Hinges on Post-Release Word of Mouth
The film’s fate will largely depend on audience reactions over the opening weekend. Positive word-of-mouth could propel its earnings forward. A lukewarm response, however, would make recovery difficult.
Directed by Tushar Jalota, the film is a cross-cultural love story. It also features actors Renji Panicker and Manjot Singh in supporting roles. The production house is hoping for strong family audience turnout.
The ultimate test for Param Sundari will be its audience approval rating. Early box office projections suggest a cautious start. The film needs strong word-of-mouth to become a financial success.
