Director Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain (2014) remains Sidharth Malhotra’s career-best opening day grosser, earning Rs 16.70 crore net. It is followed Brothers (2015), co-starring Akshay Kumar, which collected Rs 15.21 crore. Thank God (2022), alongside Ajay Devgn, ranks third with Rs 8.10 crore, while Sidharth’s debut film, Student of the Year (2012), takes the fourth spot with Rs 7.48 crore net.
Param Sundari opened to poor reviews on August 29. An excerpt from the SCREEN review read, “The only reason to stay with the film is that both Sidharth and Janhvi are so easy on the eye, but that’s also the trouble: they are too easy around each other. They are paired for the first time, and that should have automatically lent this enterprise some freshness, but clearly that’s asking for too much. Old Bollywood habits of relying upon tropes and stereotypes kick in.”
