Param Sundari Box Office Collection - Achieves healthy Day 2 box-office growth
Param Sundari climbs to ₹9 crore on Day 2, showing 24% growth and taking its total to ₹16.5 crore. Word-of-mouth and metro audiences drive the film toward a strong weekend.
Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy Param Sundari is showing encouraging signs at the box office after its first two days. Following a respectable Day 1 haul of about ₹7.25 crore, the film witnessed a clear upward swing on Saturday, collecting approximately ₹9 crore net across India. This healthy growth brings the film’s two-day total to around ₹16.5 crore, putting it on track for a promising weekend.
The trend is especially heartening for trade observers who were closely monitoring whether the film would be able to sustain momentum beyond its opening. Saturday morning shows began with stronger occupancy than Friday, particularly in metro multiplexes, where student and family crowds turned up in higher numbers. By evening, occupancy levels had risen steadily to nearly 50%, indicating that word-of-mouth is working in the film’s favor.
| Schedule | Amount (Day 1-15) |
|---|---|
| India box office Nett cr. | ~ ₹ 26.75–28.48 cr.* |
| India box office Gross cr. | ~ ₹ 33.90 cr.* |
| Overseas Gross cr. | ~ ₹ 7.05–11.00 cr.* |
| Worldwide collections Gross cr. | ~ ₹ 40.95–43.00 cr.* |
The rise also suggests that Param Sundari has managed to connect with its core audience despite mixed reviews from critics. While some reviewers pointed to a predictable storyline, audiences appear drawn to the film’s chemistry between its leads and its peppy music album, which continues to trend across streaming platforms and social media reels. The title track and two romantic numbers are especially driving repeat listens, contributing to strong recall value.
Regional performance has been varied, with Maharashtra, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru leading the way. Single screens in Tier-2 cities have shown steadier business but without the sharp growth seen in urban multiplexes. Trade experts predict that if Sunday collections cross the double-digit mark—likely in the ₹10–11 crore range—the film could close its opening weekend with a solid ₹27–28 crore net. That would provide it with a cushion heading into weekdays, which often decide a film’s longer-term trajectory.
For Sidharth Malhotra, this steady climb offers validation after a string of uneven box-office results. Janhvi Kapoor too gains momentum, proving her growing draw among younger audiences. Director Tushar Jalota, who has attempted to blend romance with humor and vibrant music, will see this as a positive signal that his film has enough buzz to ride through the coming week.
Overall, the Day 2 growth is being read as a sign that Param Sundari is not just a one-day wonder but a film that can build slowly into a strong box-office performer—provided the crucial Sunday surge delivers.
