Talk of the town, Sara Ali Khan, has left fans speechless with her first performance in the Bollywood film Kedarnath. After a good opening day, the film has managed to pass the Monday test as well by collecting Rs 4.25 crores on day 4, making its total as Rs 32 crores. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor and starring Sushant Singh Rajput opposite Sara, the film has wowed critics and viewers alike. The lead duo's performance has been much praised by the audience and it is expected that the film will cross the 50 crore mark as well.
Sharing the latest box office numbers of Kedarnath, Bollywood critic and Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#Kedarnath passes the crucial Monday test... Remain rock-steady... Fri 7.25 cr, Sat 9.75 cr, Sun 10.75 cr, Mon 4.25 cr. Total: ₹ 32 cr. India biz."
Kedarnath is a love story set against the backdrop of 2013 devastating Uttarakhand deluge. It is an inter-faith romantic drama with good performance by actors. Kedarnath got mixed reviews from critics. While some considered it a dull film, others mentioned that it had the possibility of being a much better film. However, it is a one-time watch.
According to India TV critic, “what works most in the favour of Kedarnath is good performances. None of the actors disappoint. Whether it is Nishant Dahiya, Pooja Gor or Alka Amin, Kedarnath has team of actors who deliver their best through their eyes. Here Sara Ali Khan needs a special mention. The star kid had set our expectations soaring high right with the trailer. Sara shines throughout the film. She is a show-stealer in most of the scenes. Credit should go to the director, who has perfectly brought out every shade of this newbie. Sushant Singh Rajput is at ease in the role of soft-hearted, helpless yet determined lover.”
On the work front, Sara Ali Khan will next be seen in Rohit Shetty's directorial Simmba, whereas, Sushant will next feature in Abhishek Choubey's Sonchiriya. While Simmba is an action-packed entertainer and mostly looks like Shetty's blockbuster Singham starring Ajay Devgn, Sonchiriya is based on dacoits and has an ensemble cast. Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey, Ashutosh Rana and Bhumi Pednekar are in lead roles in this crime drama.
