Satyaprem Ki Katha starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani released in theatres amid much anticipation and collected a decent collection of Rs. 9.25 crore on its opening day. It was a Thursday release on the occasion of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Directed by Sameer Vidwans, it also stars Supriya Pathak, Gajraj Rao, Siddharth Randheria, Anooradha Patel, Rajpal Yadav, Nirrmite Saawaant and Shikha Talsania.
According to a report on Boxofficeindia.com, Satyaprem Ki Katha collected an estimated Rs. 8.5 -9 crore on Thursday.
Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel had tweeted that Satyaprem Ki Katha had sold 51,500 tickets till Wednesday 10 pm which was “one of the best pre-sale for a mid-size film post pandemic.” The film's opening is however, much lower than Kartik and Kiara's 2022 blockbuster Bhoot Bhulaiyaa 2 which had opened at a massive Rs. 14 crore on day 1. It is still better than Kartik's last theatrical release, Shehzada, which opened at Rs. 6 crore and turned out to be a flop.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the romantic film reunites Kartik and Kiara after their 2022 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The film was earlier titled Satyanarayan Ki Katha but was renamed as Satyaprem Ki Katha to avoid controversy. The audience has liked the music of the film which includes songs like Naseeb Se, Aaj Ke Baad, Pasoori Nu and dance numbers like Sun Sajni and Gujju Pataka.
