‘Param Sundari’s becomes Janhavi Kapoor’s third biggest grosser beating 'Mr and Mrs Mahi'

Laded with responsibility of living up to her mother Sridevi’s cinematic legacy, actress Janhvi Kapoor is slowly but surely finding a footing for herself at the movies. Her latest release Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra has been doing her talking at the box office. The film has now become her third biggest grosser standing just behind Dhadak and Devara – Part 1.The film opened on a positive note with Rs 7.25 crore on its first Friday. Over the weekend, collections picked up strongly, bringing in Rs 9.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 10.25 crore on Sunday. This ensured a healthy first weekend of nearly Rs 27 crore, giving the film a solid base. However, the weekday trend proved shaky. Monday saw a steep drop of nearly 68% to Rs 3.25 crore, followed with a spike leading to a collection of Rs 4.25 crore on Tuesday, but the collection dropped again on Wednesday and Thursday where it collected Rs 2.85 crore Rs 2.65 crore on Thursday respectively .

By the end of Week 1, Param Sundari had earned Rs 39.75 crore.On its second Friday, the film added another Rs 1.85 crore (early estimates)taking its total to Rs 41.6 crore. The film faced stiff competition from new releases like The Conjuring: Last Rites and Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4. Both films opened in double figures at the box office. But the film has crossed the numbers of Janhvi’s last year release Mr and MRs Mahi which had collected Rs 36.34 crore.
