Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra’s latest rom-com ‘Param Sundari’ opened to a warm welcome at the box office, but the film has already seen its first big test. After a promising weekend, the Tushar Jalota directorial slipped on Monday, showing a sharp fall in collections. Even so, the film has crossed the Rs 30 crore mark in India within four days.
‘Param Sundari’ started strong with a healthy weekend collection
The film had a fair opening on Friday, collecting Rs 7.25 crore. Collections picked up over the weekend, with Saturday bringing in Rs 9.25 crore and Sunday turning out to be the best day at Rs 10.25 crore. By the end of three days, the film had already crossed Rs 26 crore, giving hopes of a steady run.
Box Office collections take a sharp fall on Monday
As expected, Monday saw a big dip in numbers. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, ‘Param Sundari’ earned Rs 3.50 crore on Day 4, taking its total to Rs 30.25 crore.
Day 4 occupancy
The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 10.67% on Monday, with morning shows at 8.57%, afternoon shows at 11.97%, evening at 10.73% and night shows at 11.42%.

Janhvi’s rom-com beats her past films
Despite the weekday fall, ‘Param Sundari’ has already outperformed some of Janhvi Kapoor’s earlier films. It has crossed the lifetime collections of ‘Roohi’ (Rs 21.93 crore), ‘Ulajh’ (Rs 9.07 crore), and ‘Mili’ (Rs 2.82 crore). This makes it one of her stronger outings at the box office so far.
What is ‘Param Sundari’ about?
The film tells the story of Param, a boy from Delhi, who searches for love through an AI app. His quest leads him to Sundari, a girl from Kerala, and their unusual yet heart-warming journey forms the heart of the film. The cast also includes Manjot Singh, Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Innayat Verma, and Tanvi Ram, all of whom add flavour to the story.
‘Param Sundari’ review: 3 stars
The Times of India gave the film 3 stars and noted, “What works in the film’s favour are the picturesque Kerala backdrops, tender moments, and Sachin-Jigar’s music—particularly Pardesiya, Danger, and Sundari Ke Pyaar Mein. The humour is light in parts, though not every gag works equally well. The real highlight is the charming chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, who make the opposites-attract arc believable and enjoyable. The actors light up the screen with their presence, especially Janhvi who looks gorgeous in the traditional Malayali avatar. Sanjay Kapoor, Manjot Singh, Renji Panicker, and Siddhartha Shankar lend able support. Even if it largely remains in the known territory, fans of breezy romances will find it a pleasant watch.”
Film now faces the weekday box office test
With Rs 30 crore in its first four days, ‘Param Sundari’ has made a mark but now faces the test of weekdays. Whether it can pick up pace or not will decide how big a success this rom-com eventually becomes.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
