Param Sundari box office collection day 1: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor's romantic-comedy arrived in theatres amid much hype and conversation.

Param Sundari opening day collection

Param Sundari box office collection day 1: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor shared screen space for the first time in the film.

The report states that Param Sundari opened at ₹7.25 crore on Friday. The film had an overall 10.64% occupancy on Friday.

While romantic films do not have big openings, Param Sundari's day 1 haul is low even for the genre's parameters. This amount is just one-third of what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer Saiyaara collected on its opening day last month. The film earned ₹ 21.5 crore on its first day of release.

About Param Sundari

Param Sundari revolves around the cross-cultural romance between the two leads, one from Delhi and the other from Kerala. Apart from Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi, the film also stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in pivotal roles. The songs from the film, especially Pardesiya, gained a lot of praise before release.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “The main problem is the lead pairing. There is no spark that makes the romance believable. Janhvi tries hard to sell her character, often carrying scenes single-handedly, but her efforts crash against Sidharth’s static, one-note performance. Even when they are simply looking into each other's eyes, Janhvi's eyes meet a wall. The first half drags through gags that never land and scenes that might have worked with stronger chemistry. The second half slows down even further, wandering toward an ending you could predict in your sleep.”
