In a landscape where Bollywood romantic comedies often face an uphill battle, Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s Param Sundari has emerged as a surprising box office success. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has managed to win over audiences, securing a strong opening weekend collection of ₹26.75 crore. This performance not only marks a significant win for the film's cast and crew but also places it among the top opening weekends for its lead actors.

A Steady Climb to Success

The film's performance over its first three days is a testament to positive word-of-mouth. Param Sundari began its theatrical run on a solid note, collecting ₹7.25 crore on its opening day. This was a decent start, but the real story unfolded over the weekend. The collection saw a notable jump on Saturday, bringing in ₹9.25 crore, and continued to climb on Sunday with a collection of ₹10.25 crore. This steady, upward trajectory indicates that audiences were genuinely enjoying the film, recommending it to others, and helping it build momentum.

For Sidharth Malhotra, this is a particularly strong result. The opening weekend collection makes Param Sundari his fifth-highest opening so far, showcasing his enduring appeal with the audience, especially in the romantic genre. For Janhvi Kapoor, the film's success is also a feather in her cap, as it has already become one of her highest-grossing films to date.

Outperforming and Setting Sights Higher

The box office success of Param Sundari is further highlighted by its performance against other recent releases. The film has already surpassed the lifetime collection of Kangana Ranaut’s , which stood at ₹23.75 crore. This is a significant achievement, given the buzz and anticipation surrounding .

Now, the film sets its sights on its next target: Shahid Kapoor's , which has a lifetime collection of ₹33 crore. If Param Sundari continues its steady performance through the crucial weekday tests, it is well on its way to surpassing this mark and establishing itself as a bonafide commercial success. The film’s ability to draw in audiences without relying on holiday releases or heavy discounting strategies is a positive sign for the industry.

The Recipe for a Rom-Com Hit

So, what’s the secret behind Param Sundari's success? While critics had reservations, the audience seems to have connected with the film’s breezy, feel-good narrative and, most importantly, the chemistry between Sidharth and Janhvi. The film's music, particularly the pre-release hype around its songs, also played a crucial role in attracting viewers. In an era dominated by high-octane action films and grand-scale spectacles, a simple, charming romantic comedy with a fresh pairing has found its own space and audience. The film’s success story proves that sometimes, all it takes is a heartfelt story and a relatable connection to win at the box office.
