Pulkit Samrat, Yami Gautam and Urvashi Rautela starrer "Sanam Re" had a super opening weekend with a box office collection of Rs 17.05 crore. The romantic film, directed by Divya Khosla Kumar, witnessed 27 percent jump in its collection, Sunday.
"Sanam Re" started its box office run with Rs 5.04 crore income on its opening day. On its second day, the film showed a decent growth and it went on to earn Rs 5.56 crore, but it was only Sunday that the collection of the film went up tremendously. The film minted Rs 6.45 crore on its third day, which took its net opening weekend box office collection to Rs 17.05 crore.
"#SanamRe has a SUPER weekend! Fri 5.04 cr, Sat 5.56 cr, Sun 6.45 cr. Total: ₹ 17.05 cr. India biz," trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted.
The opening weekend box office collection of "Sanam Re" is the sixth highest of this year. Despite starring relatively new actors, the film managed to do well at the box office. The negative reviews from critics also did not seem to have any impact on the collections of the film.
"Sanam Re" was released along with Aditya Roy Kapur- Katrina Kaif starrer "Fitoor" and Hollywood movie "Deadpool", but it remained on top this weekend with its box office business. The Pulkit-Yami starrer is likely to remain ahead of the two films this week and end their first week on a good note.
Meanwhile, the film is all set to enter into the safe zone, as it has already recovered its production cost. "Sanam Re" made on a budget of Rs 20.50 crore has earned Rs 17 crore from its domestic run and Rs 16 crore from music, satellite rights and overseas distribution.
