‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ set to cross Rs 50 cr mark; Alia Bhatt shares thanks fans for love

Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh starrer ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, which was released in theatres on July 28, has been receiving a positive response from the audience.

The romantic drama will soon cross the Rs 50 crore mark, according to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The Karan Johar directorial had a phenomenal opening weekend and has earned Rs 45.90 crore so far.

Sharing the box office figures, Taran Adarsh wrote, ‘IT’S ROCKING… #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani puts up a solid show of strength on Day 3 [Sun]… The phenomenal jump on Sat and Sun has given its theatrical journey the much-required boost… Fri 11.10 cr, Sat 16.05 cr, Sun 18.75 cr. Total: ₹ 45.90 cr. #India biz.’

He added, ‘The performance at major centres was strong from Day 1, but the excellent growth at Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres on Sat and Sun has silenced all naysayers, who felt it wouldn’t break into non-metro centres, especially the #Hindi circuits… Clearly indicates that the super-strong word of mouth has come into play. #RRKPK needs to maintain the grip on the crucial make-or-break Day 4 [Mon]… And also stay strong on remaining weekdays.’

Alia Bhatt, who stars as Rani Chatterjee in the film, took to Instagram to thank everyone for showering love to the film. She posted a picture with her co-star Ranveer and director Karan Johar, and wrote, ‘Love hain toh sab hain!!! From the bottom of our hearts... thank you for all the love.. eternally grateful! (yellow heart emoticons) Love, Rocky, Rani and our maker of this Kahaani (story).’

‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ follows the love story of Rocky (Ranveer Singh) and Rani (Alia), who belong to contrasting backgrounds and cultures.

The film also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles.
