While ‘Param Sundari’ tiptoed into cinemas with a bouquet of charm and a cast led by Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, its box office journey has been more of a gentle waltz than a thunderous march. After a modest ₹7.25 crore debut, the film saw a weekend upswing, peaking at ₹10.25 crore on Sunday. But Monday brought a reality check, slicing earnings down to ₹3.50 crore. With a four-day total hovering around ₹28 crore, the rom-com has found its footing – but not its wings.
In stark contrast, ‘Saiyaara’, Mohit Suri’s emotionally charged musical drama stormed the box office like a monsoon. Featuring fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film stunned with a ₹22.50 crore Monday alone. Now 46 days in, ‘Saiyaara’ has amassed a staggering ₹329 crore and shows no signs of slowing down. One film is a quiet breeze, the other is a full-blown cyclone.
