Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s latest release Param Sundari has seen a promising rise at the box office after a slow start. The film, which opened fairly well on its first weekend, witnessed a dip on Monday but managed to bounce back on Tuesday, taking its total domestic collection to ₹34.25 crore in just five days.
Box Office Journey So Far
The romantic drama began with a decent opening of ₹7.25 crore on Friday, followed by growth over the weekend. Saturday brought in ₹9.25 crore, while Sunday marked its highest single-day collection of ₹10.25 crore. However, the momentum slowed on Monday with just ₹3.25 crore. The film regained some stability on Tuesday, adding ₹4.25 crore to its tally.
Day-wise India Net Collection (early estimates):
-
Day 1 (Friday): ₹7.25 crore
-
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹9.25 crore
-
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹10.25 crore
-
Day 4 (Monday): ₹3.25 crore
-
Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹4.25 crore
Total: ₹34.25 crore
Despite facing fluctuations, the film is now inching closer to the ₹50 crore milestone at the domestic box office.
Regional Performance
Certain cities have shown stronger traction than others. Jaipur topped the occupancy charts at 24.33%, peaking in the afternoon at 31% and maintaining strong evening numbers. The National Capital Region (NCR) followed closely, with the highest number of screenings and steady occupancy of 18.33% through the afternoon and evening shows.
This regional distribution suggests that while metros like Mumbai and Delhi remain significant contributors, Tier-2 cities are playing a pivotal role in sustaining the film’s collections.

Critical Reception and Audience Response
The movie has received a mixed-to-positive response from critics. While some praised its unique concept of mixing AI with romance, others felt the narrative slowed down in parts. However, audiences have been more forgiving, especially appreciating the chemistry between Sidharth and Janhvi, as well as the cultural contrast depicted in the film.
Social media chatter indicates that younger audiences, especially those in urban areas, are resonating with the film’s modern love story. Family audiences, on the other hand, are drawn to its emotional undertones and light-hearted humor.
Competition at the Box Office
Param Sundari released in a competitive period, clashing with a couple of mid-budget films and Hollywood releases. Despite this, it has managed to hold its ground. The coming weekend will be crucial in determining whether the film sustains momentum or slows down after the initial hype.
Trade experts believe that if Param Sundari maintains steady weekday collections and sees another spike over the weekend, it could comfortably cross the ₹50 crore mark within its first week.
The Road Ahead
With promotions still ongoing and word-of-mouth gradually improving, the film has the potential to perform well in the second week. Special screenings, city tours by the lead stars, and strong music album performance are expected to further boost its popularity.
If the film manages to maintain steady collections, it could even aim for the ₹75–80 crore range in its lifetime run, which would mark it as a moderate hit considering its mid-range budget.
Conclusion
Param Sundari has proven to be a film that resonates with both urban and semi-urban audiences, thanks to its unique love story and star power. While not a blockbuster yet, its steady performance and growing audience interest signal a positive run ahead. With the film crossing ₹34 crore in five days and eyeing the ₹50 crore milestone, it remains one of the notable releases of 2025 for Bollywood.
