Will Param Sundari end Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra's dry spell at the box office? 

Janhvi Kapoor has seen a string of underperformers at the box office, barring her last release, Devara Part 1, which was a Telugu film headlined by Jr NTR. Her last Bollywood outing was Ulajh (2024), which minted ₹9.07 Cr in India. Before this, the actress featured in Mr & Mrs Mahi (2024), which collected an average of ₹ 35.55 Cr.

The picture is more or less similar for Sidharth Malhotra. His last big screen release, Yodha (2024), finished its theatrical run with ₹ 35.56 Cr at the Indian box office. His previous movies, such as Thank God, Marjaavan and Aiyaary, have all been below-average performers at the box office.

With Param Sundari, both actors are hoping for a positive outcome to cement their bankability. Talking about this, Bala shared, “There is a possibility that they deliver a hit; certainly, it looks good. But we still need to wait for the first reviews and the audience word of mouth. The buzz and advance booking around the film is good, but whether it will be a hit or not will only be known on Friday.” Sharing the targeted box office collection to declare Param Sundari a hit, Sumit Kadel added, "To become a hit, the film needs ₹60-₹70 crore in collection at the Indian box office. Let's see how things go."
