New Delhi: 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke', starring actors Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, continues to perform strongly at the domestic box office. Their most recent movie has earned Rs 53 crore net within 10 days.
Film trade analyst and critic Taran Adarsh shared the latest figures on Twitter and wrote, “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is a HIT… Crosses ₹50 crore [Day 10], has ample stamina to hit ₹70 crore… Proves all estimations/calculations wrong of skeptics, who predicted ₹20 cr lifetime (collection)… [Week 2] Friday ₹3.42 crore, Saturday ₹5.76 crore, Sunday ₹7.02 crore. Total: ₹53.55 crore. India biz (business).”
“Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is the third bonafide HIT [HINDI films] of 2023, after Pathaan [January] and The Kerala Story [May]… MOST IMPORTANTLY, the super-success of two mid-sized films [The Kerala Story and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke] clearly indicates that content is KING and audiences are KING MAKERS,” he added.
The story of 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' is set in the small city of Indore. Kapil and Saumya, two college sweethearts who are smitten with one another, are the main characters of the film.
The film review on ABP Live reads: Laxman Utekar adds some slice of the new and modern thinking to the traditional template and mixes the joint family + love marriage model into an acceptable model of consensus narrative through which it also manages to bring forward complex dynamics of inter-caste marriages, love marriages, joint family dynamics, 'the popular debate on kanjoos husbands' etc etc.
Laxman Utekar, whose previous works include the box office successes 'Mimi' and 'Luka Chuppi', is the film's director. The film also stars Sushmita Mukherjee, Neeraj Sood, Rakesh Bedi and Sharib Hashmi.
