The Karan Johar directed Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt is seeing an upward swing in business on its second Friday as according to early estimates, the family comedy has collected in the range of Rs. 6.50 crores on its 8th day. The film saw a spike of 5% on its eighth day and this is a rare phenomenon for a Hindi Film, as 2nd Friday is usually a day of drop.
With this, the eighth-day total of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani stands at Rs. 79.83 crores, and the movie is all geared up to see a big surge in business on its second Saturday. If all goes as planned, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani will hit a century by the end of the second weekend and then start its journey toward earning the successful tag. If the film holds on at the levels expected, it well may turn out to be a hit film for the Hindi film industry.
The weekday trend of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaan is among the best ever for a Hindi Film in the last decade topping the likes of Pathaan, Dangal, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Baahubali 2 among others. The film has been accepted by the urban audience and this should ensure long legs for the film in the weeks to come. In-fact, Rocky Aur Rani will continue to run until the release of Jawan in September and has a shot at putting up a total of Rs. 150 crores.
The film is a super hit in the overseas market and has a chance of even emerging as a blockbuster in the international markets.
