Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, had a strong opening weekend, with a four-day haul of almost Rs 36.00 crore. The movie had its best day ever on Sunday, which is encouraging and suggests a strong weekday performance.

Satyaprem Ki Katha Box Office: The Kartik-Kiara movie has a successful opening weekend
The box office pattern is encouraging and shows that the target audience is spreading good word of mouth about the film. The success of Satyaprem Ki Katha in multiplexes in major cities is mostly due to the film’s genre. In its first weekend, the movie brought in Rs 21.50 crore at the three national chains, PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. To put things in perspective, the three chains have been responsible for 59 percent of Satyaprem Ki Katha’s overall revenue. MovieMax made almost Rs 54 lakh over the weekend, while Rajhans earned Rs 43 lakh throughout the extended weekend.
Though all eyes are now on the fifth-day business, the weekend trend is promising and suggests that the movie will pass the important Monday test by earning north of Rs 4 crore. In terms of a typical 3-day weekend, the love story increased from Rs 6.50 crore on Friday to Rs 11.25 crore on Sunday, a gain of 75%, and this is true despite Thursday’s weekend audience being exhausted.
Up till the release of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, Satyaprem Ki Katha will enjoy a free run; but, Mission Impossible 7 and Oppenheimer, which will open on July 12 and July 21, respectively, in the metropolitan areas, will pose some competition.
After Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Satyaprem Ki Katha is Kartik and Kiara’s second collaboration. If Monday and Tuesday perform as projected, the film will likely turn out to be another hit for the couple.
