The much-hyped horror comedy Roohi managed a first-day collection of Rs. 30,600,000, upon its release on the festive holiday of Maha Shivratri. The opening is one of the biggest since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Hardik Mehta directorial starring Rajkummar Rao, Varun Sharma and Janhvi Kapoor is the first major big screen release from Bollywood after theatres reopened amid the global Covid pandemic. Many believe that this signifies that cinemas will soon be returning to normal for India.
Priyanka Chaudhary, CFO, Jio Studios said: “We are so delighted that audiences all over India are responding with so much love and positivity. This is a big milestone for the film industry and Jio Studios is proud to be a change-maker.”
The film co-produced by Dinesh Vijan and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba has opened to mixed critical response.
