Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, opened in theaters on Thursday in celebration of Eid. In any case, notwithstanding the occasion, the film couldn't hit twofold digits on its most memorable day. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film, directed by Sameer Vidwans, earned Rs 9.25 crore net (early estimates) in India. According to Bollywood Hungama, the figure is slightly higher than that of Kartik's most recent film, Shehzada, which debuted at Rs 6 crore. However, it is within the same range as the opening day gross of Rs 9.28 crore for Kiara's most recent theatrical release, JugJugg Jeeyo.
Exchange expert Taran Adarsh revealed, "SatyaPremKiKatha sets up a solid score on Day 1 [holiday]… Built up momentum over the span of the day, after a conventional beginning in the first part of the day shows… Night shows, expectedly, saw excellent inhabitances because of gleaming WOM… Thu ₹ 9.25 cr. # Business in India After BhoolBhulaiyaa 2 and Love Aaj Kal, this is Kartik Aaryan's third biggest opening day. The numbers may fall on Day 2 (Fri), as it is a workday, but Day 3 and 4 (Sat-Sun) hold the key. If the content is popular with families, its target audience, a strong weekend number cannot be ruled out. Boxoffice.”
Satyaprem Ki Katha is the 6th most elevated opener of the year up until this point, after Pathaan, Adipurush, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Tu Jhoothi Primary Makkaar and Bholaa. The fifth-ranked film starring Ajay Devgn earned Rs 11.20 crore on its opening day domestically, but it ultimately failed to perform.
The Hindi remake of the Telugu smash Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Kartik's most recent film, Shehzada, was a letdown for the actor. The film could gather Rs 32.20 crore during its whole dramatic run. JugJugg Jeeyo, in any case, figured out how to gather a lifetime amount of Rs 85.03 crore. Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor were also in the film.
Kiara and Kartik's last film together, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, ended up being a hit. 2022 was especially a terrible year for Hindi motion pictures, when just a small bunch of movies brought in cash in the cinema world. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 made Rs 185.92 crore during its theatrical run, beginning its run at the box office with Rs 14.11 crore.
“Somewhere under the overwrought and overcooked plot of Kartik Aaryan-Kiara Advani-starrer is a real film about two people dealing with troubled pasts, but it gets buried under everything else that the movie throws at us,” Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review of Satyaprem Ki Katha, which received two stars.
