The much-anticipated romantic drama Param Sundari, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, finally hit the big screens on August 29, 2025, and it has managed to open on a solid note at the Indian box office. Despite modest pre-release buzz, the film surprised trade pundits with a healthy Day 1 performance, proving yet again that youth-centric stories, backed by good music, always find their audience.
Param Sundari Day 1 Box Office Collection
Param Sundari collected ₹7.37 crore nett on its opening Friday across India. What makes this number even more impressive is the fact that the film did not rely on discounted ticket schemes or BOGO (Buy One Get One) offers, which have become increasingly common to boost initial numbers. Instead, the movie pulled in audiences purely on the strength of its content, music, and youthful vibe.
Despite lower expectations before release, strong spot bookings and positive word of mouth helped Param Sundari score at the box office.
Factors Behind The Strong Opening
Several factors worked in favor of Param Sundari on Day 1:
Youth Connect: The film’s story of a cross-regional romance immediately struck a chord with the younger crowd, especially college-going audiences who were looking for a relatable love story on the big screen.
Popular Soundtrack: The music album has already been a chartbuster, with Pardesiya leading the charge. The song has been a rage on reels and social media, driving footfalls into theatres.
Solo Release Advantage: With no other major release clashing at the box office, Param Sundari enjoyed a clear run on its opening Friday, maximizing its collections.
These three elements combined to give the film a strong foundation, setting the stage for growth over the weekend.
Performances And Audience Response
Sidharth Malhotra shines as ‘Param’, a typical Delhi boy with his charm and swagger, while Janhvi Kapoor impresses as ‘Sundari’, a classical girl from Kerala. Their chemistry has been widely appreciated, with many calling it fresh and vibrant. Audiences also seem to have enjoyed the balance of comedy, romance, and drama that director Tushar Jalota has packaged into the narrative.
The movie has also benefited from being visually rich, with stunning Kerala backdrops adding authenticity and flavor to the love story. On social media, the response to the trailer has now translated into strong chatter about the film itself, giving it good momentum for the coming days.
What Lies Ahead For Param Sundari
Given its solid start, Param Sundari is now expected to see a rise in collections over Saturday and Sunday. Family audiences are likely to add further numbers over the weekend, while youth-driven word-of-mouth is already working in its favor. The film could end its opening weekend on a near Rs 28 to 30 crore figure, giving it a solid platform to build from in the coming weeks.
