The big Diwali box office battle has begun! While Thamma is making a lot of noise, the other big release, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, has also made a strong mark. According to early trends for day one, the film has put up a great fight and successfully scored a “solid double-digit opening” at the box office.
This is a very good number for a film in the romantic drama genre. A “double-digit opening” (which means ₹10 crore or more) is exactly what the film needed to kickstart its box office journey.
A Solid Start For The Romantic Drama
This solid start proves that the film has found its audience on the very first day. The pairing of Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, combined with the film’s music, has clearly attracted moviegoers.
Director Milap Zaveri, who is known for his mass-appeal dialogues and emotional stories, seems to have connected with his target audience. For a pure romantic drama, opening in double digits is a very positive sign.
Holding Strong In A Massive Clash
What makes this “solid double-digit opening” even more impressive is the competition. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat was released on the same day as Thamma, a film from the massive Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Thamma was expected to take up most of the screens and audience, and it did open to huge numbers.
But the box office is big enough for two films. This solid start for the Harshvardhan Rane starrer shows that audiences who wanted a pure, intense love story chose this film. It proves that both movies can survive and do well this Diwali.
What to Expect This Weekend
A strong opening day gives the film a great platform to build on. Now, the main test for the Milap Zaveri directorial begins. The Box Office Collection over Saturday and Sunday will depend entirely on word-of-mouth.
If the audience connects with the intense love story and the emotional drama, the numbers could see a good jump over the extended holiday weekend. This double-digit start ensures it will have a healthy first weekend and a real chance to become a success.
