Pari was the big release this week as the other Hindi film, Veerey Ki Wedding, didn’t get many screens. Also, there was a very little fight at the ticket window. The only other film with sustained public interest was Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety which had entered its second week.
If Pari’s business doesn’t pick up over the weekend then it may not be good news for Sharma, the producer.
Pari has received mixed reviews and that may confuse the audience before booking tickets.
