"Param Sundari," starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, has taken a promising start at the box office. Early estimates for the first day of release, August 29, 2025, indicate a collection of ₹7.25 Cr. Other reports suggest the film may have grossed between ₹7.5 to ₹8 crore on its opening day.
The romantic comedy, directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, has been released across 2500 screens in India. Advance bookings for "Param Sundari" opened on August 26, and within the first 24 hours, approximately 10,000 tickets were sold via online booking platforms.
Several factors contributed to the anticipation surrounding "Param Sundari." The film marks the first collaboration between Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, generating curiosity about their on-screen chemistry. The film's trailer and music, composed by Sachin-Jigar with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, have also resonated with audiences.
Industry analysts predict that positive word-of-mouth will be crucial for the film's long-term success. Some trade experts believe "Param Sundari" has the potential to reach ₹6-10 crore if evening shows perform well. A strong audience response could propel the movie to a consistent rise throughout the weekend, while a lukewarm reception might limit its pace.
However, "Param Sundari" is unlikely to match the opening day earnings of "Saiyaara," which grossed ₹21.5 crore. Filmibeat reports that "Param Sundari" has collected approximately ₹2.64 crore until 6:00 pm on its release day. According to Sacnilk, the film earned around ₹3.4 crore India net on its first day.
The film's release coincides with Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations and heavy rainfall in some areas, potentially affecting initial footfalls. Despite the slow start in the morning, the film had already sold 10,000 advance tickets, indicating positive momentum.
"Param Sundari" faces the challenge of recouping its production budget of ₹50-55 crore. The film's box office performance in the coming days will be critical to determining its overall success.
