Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Box Office Report Day 4: After a gap since his last directorial venture, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' in 2016, Karan Johar made a comeback with 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles, the film has been receiving widespread acclaim.
The chemistry between the two actors has been well-received by fans, and this positive response is clearly reflected in the box office earnings. The captivating plot, outstanding performances, and strong emotional connection with the audience have contributed to the instant success of 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Remarkably, on Day 4, July 31, the movie surpassed the Rs 50 crore milestone in India.
On July 28, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' had an opening of Rs 11.10 crore at the box office. However, according to early trade estimates, the film only earned Rs 7.50 crore on Day 4, which is significantly lower than its previous days' collections. This dip in earnings can be attributed to the typical drop in attendance on Mondays, commonly known as the "first Monday effect."
Despite this being the lowest earning day so far, the film still managed to surpass the Rs 50 crore-mark in total collections, reaching a sum of Rs 53.40 crore. On Monday, the film's overall occupancy was recorded at 18.02 per cent.
