Single Salma Opens To Lukewarm Reviews And Limited Shows

A constrained theatrical rollout, coupled with a public appeal from co-producer Saqib Saleem, underscores uncertain box-office prospects.

Overview

  • The Huma Qureshi-led Hindi rom-com released in theatres on October 31, 2025.
  • Early reviews largely commend Qureshi’s performance while faulting the writing, pacing and tonal consistency.
  • Nachiket Samant directs the film starring Qureshi with Shreyas Talpade and Sunny Singh, with Qureshi producing alongside her brother Saqib Saleem.
  • Coverage notes few screens and unfavourable time slots as multiplexes prioritize multiple high-profile re-releases, including Shah Rukh Khan titles and Baahubali.
  • Saleem posted a public note urging viewers to find shows in cinemas, as low-key promotion and limited availability cloud word-of-mouth and revenue outlook.
