Weekend Prospects:

Expectations are high for a surge in collections on Saturday, considering the film's strong start on Thursday and the anticipation surrounding its release. Although a slight decline in earnings on Friday was expected, "Satyaprem Ki Katha" is now poised for a robust weekend at the box office. With the weekend underway and the holiday period in full swing, the film is expected to benefit from increased footfall.

Projections:

It is projected that Saturday's collections will be on par with the film's opening day. Moreover, Sunday is expected to witness slightly higher earnings compared to Saturday. As a result, it is conceivable to anticipate a collection of up to 38 crores INR during the film's opening weekend. Such a solid weekend collection would be commendable, especially for a romantic drama. However, the true test for "Satyaprem Ki Katha" lies ahead on Monday, as positive word-of-mouth will play a crucial role in sustaining ticket sales at the box office.

#LeAaunga sung by #ArijitSingh is easily one of the best songs of #SatyaPremKiKatha . Its placement in the screenplay however does such a disservice to the lyricsWould have been beautiful to conclude this tale with this number rather than a random dandiya song like #SunSajni 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/iIRdD2DkrP
