Param Sundari Box Office: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s Movie Settles for a Decent Opening

Mumbai saw a footfall of 12.25% at the theatres while Delhi was at 13.00%. Bengaluru was at an occupancy of 24.50% while Hyderabad saw a footfall of 21.75%.

While these are initial reports, the movie has received rave public reviews on social media platforms. Many also criticised the movie for its dialogues and over plot setup. One user wrote, “#ParamSundari tries to be a fun ride, but ends up pretty flat. The writing stays on a very basic level with only a handful of jokes actually landing. Sid & Jhanvi are decent, the music lifts the mood but beyond that it feels too simple and at times even overboard.”

Filmfare’s reviewer gave the movie 3 stars. He noted, “Param Sundari serves as a reminder of how romance once formed the beating heart of Bollywood storytelling and why its decline has left a void. Like forgetting how to measure rice and dal when it’s no longer cooked, the genre seems to have lost its proportions. While it pokes light-hearted fun at the conventions of romance as shown in our films, we’re sure Tushar Jalota’s intention wasn’t to make a satire. The film’s trailer got sharp reactions from viewers in Kerala, who felt that the film’s depiction of Malayali culture was outdated and steeped in stereotypes. Let’s hope they’re more forgiving of the complete film.”

The leading cast of the movie comprises Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra. The ensemble cast comprises Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Manjot Singh and Abhishek Banerjee.
