SATYAPREM KI KATHA had a fair extended first week of around 47.50 crore nett as it remained steady over the weekdays though saw a drop on the final day of the week. The film has not done great but its not bad either. The collections could have dropped out after the Monday drop but they remain at a decent level with the second weekend to come.

The film has done a little better in CI which is the case of most films of Kartik Aaryan but Mumbai circuit should have done much better as this film is more for that circuit. The business in Gujarat has been steady over the weekdays but numbers are towards the lower side though maybe second weekend will be better comparatively. The film may have affected by the Marathi film BAIPAN BHARI DEVA which is now running riot in the circuit but that film was not there on day one and SATYAPREM KI KATHA was not too good then.

The film needs another good hold today and should really collect a similar number to Thursday which can put in line for a decent second week though there is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE on Wednesday which will hit business in week two. Overall its the type of film that the mass audience is keeping away from today. So, if the film can get around to that 70 crore nett mark, it will be a fair result for the film.

The first eight day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,35,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,40,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------

SATYAPREM KI KATHA held up well on its second Friday collecting around 2.50 crore nett which is not much lower than the day before. It was a must for the film to hold up at around this level and now the test will be midweek as to what happens when MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE releases. If the film can continue well post that, then the film will be an AVERAGE fare.

The film has chances to do business of 70 crore nett plus but it will all depend on the level of collections from midweek onward as that is when the competition arrives. This week the release was NEEYAT which was not really competition and is basically a token gesture release due to the demands of digital players for a theatrical release. The film has probably clocked up around the 70 lakh nett range.

SATYAPREM KI KATHA is on a pretty steady run post the opening weekend, It should basically have done better in the Maharashtra/Gujarat belt and that is the letdown for the film. East is poor but that was sort of expected but the zone and feel of the film should have enabled better collections in Mumbai circuit.

The collections of SATYAPREM KI KATHA are as follows.

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,35,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,40,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

SATYAPREM KI KATHA remained steady on Tuesday with collections in a similar range to Monday which was a must for the film as the collections on Monday were low. The film picked around 3.25-3.50 crore nett on Tuesday which takes the film to 42 crore nett in six days.

The hold on Tuesday gives the film a better chance to pick up better collections in the second week. The business of the film cant be called good but its respectable for what the film is worth. This cinema is more for the pre pandemic era but today box office demographics have changed and the audience for these type of films is less now.

Another issue is that Mumbai circuit has not performed when this circuit should have been the outperformer considering the look and type of content it is. Gujarat/Saurashtra is steady now but that is not enough. Obviously comparisons are there with ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE as that is seen to be in the same zone. So if that can get numbers there is nothing wrong with the zone of the film. But there is one huge difference as that film deals with a lower middle class family while is not the case with SATYAPREM KI KATHA.

So despite being in similar zone, the audience profile is a bit different and on top ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE has HIT music with a song really taking off when the film released. The industry will have to learn to give content to get the lower middle class to cinemas as this audience has not been affected by streaming.

The first six day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,35,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,40,00,000 apprx

SATYAPREM KI KATHA dropped around 45% on Monday as it collected in the 3.25-3.50 crore nett range. The drop is normal but as the collections on Friday were low due to it being the day after the holiday, the film had to show a lower drop.

This has meant the collections of the film are on the lower side and really needed to be near the 4 crore nett mark. Moreover the drop from Sunday is 70% and that is probably a better judge for a film with an extended weekend.

The film did well on Saturday and Sunday but is down to that so so level on Monday and is now dependent on good holds through the week or at least one day where the drop is very minimal. If the film meanders long with normal weekdays, it will probably be heading for a low second Friday.

The weekend results of the film were a plus for the film industry as a film like this not really offering much (despite what the C's in India say be it trade or others) managed 35 crore nett over four days. If the film was betterm then even today these type of films can still reach the 100 crore nett mark.

The first five day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,35,00,000 apprx

SATYAPREM KI KATHA had a decent extended first weekend of around 35 crore nett with good business on Saturday and Sunday. If this numbers was in three days, then it would actually been a good number. But there is a good trend there on Saturday and Sunday for the film to get a run post the weekend.

The film has not collected well in Eastern India and Maharashtra is also weak. There has been bad weather in Maharashtra but that is unlikely to be a problem as Marathi film BAIPAN BHARI DEVI has recorded superb collections across the state. There was huge competition in the North as well with CARRY ON JATTA 3. Both Delhi city is pretty good and even East Punjab is reasonable considering how other Hindi films have fared there over the past year.

Gujarat/Saurashtra saw good collections on Sunday as the circuit easily went over the 1 crore mark. So overall, the film is in a decent position after four days and it remains to be seen if it can go on from here to emerge a success.

The first four day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 11,00,00,000 apprx

SATYAPREM KI KATHA did well on Saturday as it collected 9.50 crore nett and taking its three day total to 24 crore nett. The growth on Saturday was over 50% which is very good and gives the film a chance to work. It was crucial the film went above the first day number on Saturday and it has managed that.

The film still has a long way to go but its in a decent position after three days and with Sunday to come its going to collect around 35 crore nett over the extended weekend which is a healthy number and good in terms of business scenario today. SATYAPREM KI KATHA also made ground in Gujarat/Saurashtra on Saturday as collections in this region trended better than the national average. Though considering the film has a heavy Gujarati flavour, the collections are still on the lower side in the state.

The film is not faring well in the Eastern side of India with even a metro centre like Kolkata not doing too well. Bengaluru, which normally behaves similar to Kolkata, is much better. CI is also better but this is the case with most films of Kartik Aryan whether they do well or not.

The first three day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

SATYAPREM KI KATHA saw a drop in its second day which was always going to happen. But the drop was pretty reasonable which just took it down to the what the collections would have been on day one if it was not a holiday for Eid and not lower which can easily happen.

The second day collected 6.25 crore nett and that is the range the day one would have been if it was not Eid. The two day numbers of the film are 14.75 crore nett which is so so business but now on Saturday, it has a chance to break out to better numbers. The film must go at least to its first day number and ideally it should be higher for a weekend trend. The numbers will still be on the lower side but if the film can really jump well, it will have a trend and then there is time on its side with not many Hindi releasing in the near future.

Gujarat/Saurashtra, which is crucial for the film, was pretty much like the rest of the country on day  two and did not trend better. This market is crucial due to the heavy Gujrati flavour in the film. But despite the local flavour, the film has a theme like rape which maybe is not for a conservative audience like in Gujarat.

The first two day collections of the film are as follows

Thursday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,25,00,000 apprx
