Also starring Gajraj Rao and Supriya Pathak, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's Satyaprem Ki Katha has earned Rs 26.35 crore in its first three days.
The musical romantic film Satyaprem Ki Katha, featuring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles, hit theatres on June 29 on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. The film is receiving tremendous reviews from critics and audiences as it deals with a sensitive topic, which has been purposefully kept hidden by the makers during the promotions.
After collecting Rs 9.25 crore and Rs 7 crore on its first two days, Satyaprem Ki Katha has finally hit double digits at the box office and has seen a growth of over 44% on its third day of theatrical release. Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon-starrer collected Rs 10.10 crore on Saturday, taking the three-day total to Rs 26.35 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office numbers on his social media handles on Sunday morning and wrote, "#SatyaPremKiKatha hits double digits on Day 3. The weekend growth was on the cards and if it maintains the pace, a ₹ 40 cr [+/-] *extended* weekend cannot be ruled out. Thu 9.25 cr, Fri 7 cr, Sat 10.10 cr. Total: ₹ 26.35 cr. #India biz."
"#SatyaPremKiKatha is expected to post good numbers today [Sun], may even score higher numbers than the first three days [Thu - Sat]. However, the real test begins tomorrow [Mon], once the 4-day *extended* weekend has ended. The make-or-break Mon [working day] holds the key", he further wrote.
