Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy Param Sundari saw a slight boost on its fifth day at the box office. The film, released on August 29, 2025, earned Rs 4.25 crore on Tuesday, pushing its total India net collection to Rs 34.25 crore amid mixed reviews and steady audience interest.
Strong Start Followed by Weekday Challenges
The movie opened with a solid Rs 7.37 crore on day one, drawing crowds in major cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Positive word of mouth from its fun storyline about a Delhi boy falling for a Kerala girl helped it gain traction over the weekend.
Collections jumped to Rs 10.07 crore on Saturday and Rs 10.25 crore on Sunday, crossing the Rs 27 crore mark in just three days. However, the first Monday brought a sharp 68 percent drop to Rs 3.25 crore, a common trend for mid week releases facing workdays.
Tuesday showed recovery, with the Rs 4.25 crore haul indicating renewed interest, possibly due to special offers like Blockbuster Tuesday deals in select theaters.

Experts note that romantic comedies often rely on urban audiences, and this film’s mix of North South cultural vibes has resonated well in tier two cities.
Regional Occupancy Insights
Occupancy rates varied across regions, showing stronger pull in some areas. Jaipur led with an overall 24.33 percent occupancy, thanks to high afternoon and evening show turnouts.
The National Capital Region followed at 18.33 percent, with consistent crowds throughout the day. Bengaluru and Mumbai hovered around 17.67 percent and 16 percent, respectively, boosted by evening slots.
In Kolkata, morning shows started low at 6 percent but climbed to 27 percent by evening, reflecting growing interest as the day progressed.
These patterns suggest the film appeals more to young couples and families in evenings, especially in northern and western India.
Mixed Reviews and Audience Reactions
Critics have given Param Sundari mixed feedback, praising the chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor but pointing out predictable plot elements. Karan Johar called it a fun, joyous romance in his review, which likely helped build buzz.
Audience sentiments on social media platforms echo this divide. Many fans enjoy the light hearted story and catchy songs like Pardesiya, while others feel it lacks depth compared to recent hits in the genre.
Despite this, the film has outperformed initial expectations, especially after competing releases in August 2025. Its backing by Maddock Films and direction by Tushar Jalota add to its appeal in the romantic comedy space.
Social media trends show positive chatter in tier two cities, where advance bookings were strong before release.
Future Projections and Industry Context
Looking ahead, trade analysts predict Param Sundari could reach Rs 50 crore by the end of its second weekend if word of mouth stays positive. The film’s current trajectory aligns with similar 2025 romantic films that started slow but built momentum.
Factors like no major competing releases this week and promotional pushes might help. In the broader Bollywood landscape, this comes amid a year of mixed box office results, with successes like Devara setting benchmarks.
If it maintains Tuesday’s growth, the movie might end its run around Rs 70 to 80 crore, a decent figure for its budget.
The film’s performance also highlights the enduring popularity of cross cultural love stories in Indian cinema, similar to hits from past years.
