Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” has shown a remarkable surge in box office collections on its second day, leaving film enthusiasts and trade analysts pleasantly surprised.
Early estimates suggest that the film raked in an impressive Rs. 16 crores on Saturday, showcasing a significant 45% jump in revenue compared to its opening day.
The major boost in collections has been observed primarily in popular multiplex chains like PVR, Inox, Cinepolis, and the chains MovieMax and Miraj.
This positive trend has propelled the two-day total box office earnings of “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” to an impressive Rs. 27.50 crores.
With high production costs, the film featuring Aliyaa Bhatt and Ranvir Singh’s success largely depends on its weekday performance. However, the film’s positive word of mouth seems to work in its favour, contributing to the substantial Saturday jump in collections.
The audience’s positive feedback has elevated the film’s position significantly and garnered attention from corporate bookings.
Trade experts predict that the film’s opening weekend may reach a promising Rs. 45 crores, marking a satisfactory outcome. Nevertheless, the film’s success story is far from complete, as its performance during the weekdays will be crucial in determining its overall commercial viability.
Despite a slow start, the Karan Johar brand and favourable audience reviews have been instrumental in attracting moviegoers to theatres.
Although the mass belts have been relatively lacklustre, the film’s positive momentum suggests growth potential. The coming Sunday is expected to witness another substantial surge in audience footfall, especially from families.
Overall, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” can become a resounding success for the Hindi Film Industry, especially if the masses continue to embrace it on Sunday.
The film’s uplifting storyline and direction by Karan Johar seem to outweigh any initial drawbacks, and the industry eagerly anticipates a strong finish to its opening weekend.
