Overview
- The Kartik Aaryan–Ananya Panday romantic comedy released in India on December 25 to a split between appreciative and critical reactions from early viewers and reviewers.
- Pre-sale tallies reported by outlets citing Sacnilk were inconsistent, with one update listing roughly 51,000 tickets and about ₹1.97 crore by noon Wednesday and another citing over 79,000 tickets and up to ₹4.44 crore including block seats.
- Distributors sought minimum daily show counts across single screens and multiplexes, yet reports say many venues prioritized Dhurandhar and limited slots for the new release.
- Trade trackers and analysts projected a modest single‑digit opening, with many estimates near ₹4–6 crore for day one despite the holiday timing.
- Music choices drew online pushback, including complaints about a recreated ‘Saat Samundar Paar’ and a leaked clip of a ‘Saajanji Ghar Aaye’ dance sequence.
