Madgaon Express vs Vibe

Kunal's last directorial, Madgaon Express, also had a slow start at the box office in 2024 but eventually found an audience after its OTT release. The film earned ₹1.50 crore on its opening day. Vibe, however, hasn't been able to cross Madgaon Express's opening-day numbers.

Vibe beats Ek Din and Main Vaapas Aaunga

Despite the slow start, Vibe has already edged past Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi's romantic film Ek Din, which earned ₹1.15 crore on its opening day at the box office. Vibe has also surpassed Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga, which also collected ₹1.15 crore on its opening day.

Vibe review

Hindustan Times' Rishabh Suri gave the film 3 stars and wrote, "Overall, VIBE starts off with exactly the kind of madness you want from a film like this. It is funny and doesn’t seem too bothered about following the usual rules initially. Kunal Kemmu and Sparsh Shrivastava make for an entertaining pair, and the first half has enough laughs. It is in the second half that the film loses some of that easy charm, as the story starts adding layers and twists nobody really asked for. The result is a film that is at its best when it is simply VIBE-ing."
