Satyaprem Ki Katha opening collection

According to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Satyaprem Ki Katha collected an estimated ₹9.25 crore on Thursday. A report of Boxofficeindia.com stated that the number would have been a good collection if it came without the Eid holiday factor. It remains to be seen how the film performs on its day 2, a working Friday.

How the film fared as compared to Kartik's earlier films

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel had tweeted that Satyaprem Ki Katha had sold 51,500 tickets till Wednesday 10 pm which was “one of the best pre-sale for a mid-size film post pandemic.” The film's opening is however, much lower than Kartik and Kiara's 2022 blockbuster Bhoot Bhulaiyaa 2 which had opened at a massive ₹14 crore on day 1. It is still better than Kartik's last theatrical release, Shehzada, which opened at ₹6 crore and turned out to be a flop.

Kartik's visit to Siddhivinayak

As Satyaprem Ki Katha released in theatres on Thursday, Kartik Aaryan visited the Siddhivinayak Temple to seek Lord Ganesha's blessings for the film, just like his practice for for earlier films. Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a picture of himself from the visit and wrote, “Overwhelmed with your Pure Love.”

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the romantic film reunites Kartik and Kiara after their 2022 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The film was earlier titled Satyanarayan Ki Katha but was renamed as Satyaprem Ki Katha to avoid controversy. The audience has liked the music of the film which includes songs like Naseeb Se, Aaj Ke Baad, Pasoori Nu and dance numbers like Sun Sajni and Gujju Pataka.
