Param Sundari box office collection day 3: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s film lags far behind Saiyaara, mints Rs 26.75 cr

On Sunday, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 20.71%, with maximum footfall of around 30 percent in the evening shows. The film had its highest number of screenings — 1,228 — in the NCR region, where it registered an average occupancy of 20 percent. In Mumbai, it had 878 shows and recorded a similar occupancy of 19.50%. Bengaluru and Surat also saw multiple screenings — 280 and 283, respectively — but while Bengaluru reported a strong 40 percent occupancy, Surat lagged with only 10 percent.

Param Sundari vs Saiyaara

Thanks to the star power of Janhvi and Sidharth, Param Sundari was projected as the biggest romantic film of the year. However, the release and massive success of Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara changed the game. The film, starring two newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, became a surprise hit and the second highest earner of the year, leaving Janhvi and Sidharth’s film to compete with it.

At the box office, Param Sundari is lagging far behind Saiyaara. Within just three days of release, the Mohit Suri directorial had collected Rs 83.25 crore, while Param Sundari managed only Rs 26.75 crore in the same period.

Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan’s film War 2, now in its third week, continues to mint money at the box office. It added another Rs 1.50 crore on Sunday, taking its domestic collection to Rs 234.55 crore. Going ahead, Param Sundari will soon face fresh competition as Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt’s Baaghi 4 gears up for release on September 5.
