Param Sundari Opens at Rs 7.25 Crore as Early Day 2 Estimates Signal Weekend Growth

Early trade figures point to a modest start, with praise for the leads and music offset by critiques of the script and cultural portrayal.

Overview

  • The Sidharth MalhotraJanhvi Kapoor rom-com, directed by Tushar Jalota for Maddock Films, released in theatres on August 29.
  • Box-office tracker Sacnilk pegged day-one collections at about Rs 7.25 crore, with national occupancy reported around 10–13% and below double-digit opening projections.
  • Early Saturday reporting indicates an uptick, with some outlets citing roughly Rs 9.2 crore for day two and placing provisional two-day totals near Rs 16.5 crore.
  • Reviews and audience posts consistently commend the pair’s on-screen chemistry, Sachin–Jigar’s soundtrack led by Pardesiya, and Kerala-set visuals including the Vallam Kali finale.
  • Critics flag a routine, predictable second half, and several Malayalam-speaking commentators have questioned casting and cultural authenticity, keeping a representation debate in view.
