Karan Johar’s latest directorial venture “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” has left audiences excited, and the film is off to a promising start at the Indian box office. Featuring the dynamic duo of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the titular roles, the movie has garnered attention for its unique storyline and stellar star cast, including Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra in supporting roles.
Despite high expectations and a favorable buzz surrounding the film, it started with an underwhelming opening day collection of around Rs 10.50 crores nett. However, the movie quickly picked up steam on its second day (Saturday) due to positive word-of-mouth and the occasion of Muharram, earning a commendable Rs 15.50 crores.
The two-day total for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” stands at an impressive Rs 26 crores nett, showcasing a strong trend and indicating early signs of success. The film is receiving praise from critics and audiences alike, and if it consolidates its position further on Sunday, it is expected to have an opening weekend collection of around Rs 45 crores nett.
The positive momentum is attributed to the substantial corporate bookings that have contributed to the film’s box office numbers over the first two days, with the trend likely to continue on day 3 as well.
Particularly noteworthy is the film’s tremendous growth in the top national multiplex chains, including PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, where it has earned approximately 65 percent of its business. Day 1 collections from these multiplex chains totaled around Rs 6.75 crores, and the film’s day 2 numbers have witnessed a significant rise to slightly over Rs 10 crores nett. This trend bodes well for the movie’s prospects post the weekend, as many accepted films have showcased strong holds in the post-pandemic era.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” portrays the love story of a flamboyant Punjabi named Rocky and an intellectual Bengali journalist named Rani. Despite their differences, the couple falls in love, and when faced with family opposition, they decide to live with each other’s families for three months before getting married. The film explores their journey of winning over each other’s families and aims to touch hearts with its heartwarming narrative.
“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” has shown commendable growth on Saturday, garnering Rs 15.50 crores at the box office. With the strong trend and positive reviews, the film is all set to make a mark in the hearts of audiences and become a significant success for Karan Johar and the talented cast.
