This makes its two days collection as Rs 5.31 crore nett.
Revealing the Day 2 box office numbers, Taran Adarsh wrote, "#Roohi declines on Day 2... The drop is understandable, since Friday was a working day and certain pockets - where it collected strong on Thursday - were bound to get affected... Picked up in evening shows... Thu 3.06 cr [#MahaShivratri], Fri 2.25 cr. Total: ₹ 5.31 cr. #India biz."
Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and directed by Hardik Mehta, the horror-comedy hit the screens on March 11. In the film, Janhvi Kapoor plays a character that is possessed by a ghost. She had to undergo "multiple look tests" to perfect her appearance for the role. The director revealed, "We did multiple look tests to arrive at a combination of prosthetics and VFX to create the look for Janhvi. What really surprised me was the switch that Janhvi would make as soon as prosthetics would come into play, and her whole body language and voice would change to that of her witch character."
