Highlights Of Day 1 Box Office Results

Biggest opening day net box office ever for a debutant-led film in the history of Indian cinema. All-time biggest opening day for a ‘pure love story’ in Indian cinema. Highest opening day ticket sales post-2000 for a debutant film. Most tickets sold on day 1 for a debutant film in 25 years — since Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Refugee (2000). Career-best opening for director Mohit Suri.

Highest opening day for a love story post-pandemic. First love story to cross Rs 20 Cr net in a single day post-COVID. Achieved these numbers with just 8,000 shows across India — less than half the average 18,000 shows typically required for a ₹20 Cr+ opener. Major national chains reported sold-out shows across key markets on Day.

And all this without the actors being opened up to public gaze and without any traditional publicity and marketing approach – so zero interviews, zero city visits, no reels, no influencer content, no visibility. Just the power of strong content marketed to the entire nation.
