Param Sundari Box Office Collection Day 2: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s North-meets-South romantic comedy, Param Sundari, hit theatres Friday.
As expected, people couldn’t help but draw parallels with the 2013 hit Chennai Express, thanks to its familiar Bollywood-meets-Tollywood flavour.
The film landed to mixed reviews, but Saturday’s numbers suggest it’s finding its feet at the box office.
Here’s the breakdown: according to Sacnilk, Param Sundari pulled in ₹9 crore on its second day in India. The opening day was nothing to write home about ₹7.25 crore.
But by Saturday, there was a noticeable uptick, with early estimates putting the day’s haul at ₹9 crore. That brings the two-day total to ₹16.25 crore.
Quick snapshot:
Day 1 [Friday]: ₹7.25 crore
Day 2 [Saturday]: ₹9 crore
Total after two days: ₹16.25 crore
