'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' starts strong; here's Box Office Day 1 report card
Mumbai, July 29: 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, has taken off like a rocket.
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film earned Rs 11.10 crore on its first day at the box office.
"#RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani hits double digits on Day 1… Day 1 biz is clearly lopsided… The contribution from major centres [mainly multiplexes] is good, but Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres did not perform to optimum capacity… Fri Rs 11.10 cr. #India biz. #RRKPK needs to witness solid growth on Day 2 and 3… Not just metros, but mass pockets need to contribute big numbers too… The content is targeted at youth as well as families and if they come on board - in large numbers - only then will it make a difference to its total on Day 2 and 3,"he said on Twitter.
"The film enjoys strong word of mouth, but it needs to translate into footfalls and BO numbers…The growth on Day 2 - post 12 noon onwards - is most crucial," he further said.
The film is directed by Karan Johar and stars veteran actors Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi in prominent roles. It was released in theatres on July 28.
Karan Johar directed the film seven years after his last film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
The majority of reviews and word of mouth have been positive.
Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday both make cameo appearances in the film.
