Overview
- The Kartik Aaryan–Ananya Panday romantic comedy released on December 25, directed by Sameer Vidwans and produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures.
- Exhibitors kept show counts tight as Dhurandhar’s strong third week and Avatar: Fire and Ash continued to dominate screens, despite the distributor requesting minimum allocations across multiplex configurations.
- Advance‑booking signals were conflicting, with Sacnilk‑linked reports citing about 51,000 tickets and ₹1.97 crore by noon Wednesday versus over 79,000 tickets and ₹3.06–4.44 crore when including block seats.
- Trade forecasts pointed to a modest opening in the single‑digit crore range, with several estimates centering around ₹4–6 crore for day one in India.
- Early reactions were split, with praise for the lead pair and some execution contrasted by complaints about predictability and backlash to recreated songs like Saat Samundar Paar and a Saajanji Ghar Aaye sequence.
