SatyaPrem Ki Katha has emerged as a safe bet for its makers, what with consistent collections over the weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday when it grew well. That was the news of the hour since even though it was a known fact that there would be a dip in numbers on Friday due to it being a working day, the film needed to have a good rise on Saturday so that the ground could be covered, something which happened indeed. Post that a regular Sunday growth of around 20% would have been a traditional trend and that happened too.
The film has not been a runaway success or anything but with the kind of collections that have come in now, it’s a safe bet at least. The film by Sajid Nadiadwala isn’t overtly expensive and just needs to do reasonable business at the box office so that the profits start coming in after accounting for sales of digital, satellite and music rights. All of that has been taken into consideration, which means that there would be money coming back to the investors once Rs. 70 crores mark is touched.
That should now happen eventually, given the kind of trend that has been seen so far. On Sunday, the film enjoyed yet another double-digit day of Rs. 12.15 crores. Compared to Friday (Rs. 7 crores), this is more than 70% jump. Yes, a double of that would have meant that Monday the film had chances to be quite close to Friday collections but that won’t be the case now. That said, the drop too would be controlled and it would be much lesser than 50%. The Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starrer has collected Rs. 38.50 crores now and is at a stage where Monday and Tuesday hold can really take it far ahead of the Rs. 70 crores in its eventual lifetime.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
