Sui Dhaaga Box Office Collection Day 1: Mamta and Mauji bring ‘Badhiya’ numbers at BO, earn Rs 8.30 crore
Sui Dhaaga, starring Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma opened to mixed response from critics across the country on Friday. The film opened facing a clash with Vishal Bhardwaj’s Pataakha. However, the numbers for Sui Dhaaga turned out to be impressive. On its first day in theatres, Anushka and Varun’s film managed to earn Rs 8.30 crore, which is quite remarkable for the opening day, citing that the film is content-driven and non-commercial. Sharing the box office number, film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “While #SuiDhaaga is expected to grow on Day 2 and Day 3, its biz is expected to jump from Day 4 [Mon] *evening* onwards, since Day 5 [Tue] is a big national holiday: Gandhi Jayanti... A strong total is on the cards, if its target audience [families] throng cineplexes.”
"#SuiDhaaga has an encouraging Day 1... Had an ordinary start in the morning shows, but gathered momentum as the day progressed... Film lost out on a big chunk of biz due to #AsiaCup2018 finals, but should recover lost ground on Day 2... Fri ₹ 8.30 cr [2500 screens]. India biz," he wrote.
Sui Dhaaga is a realistic slice-of-life drama which gyrates around a lower-middle class couple who aspire to set up their own clothing line. Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan played the lead couple in the movie. Both the actors outdid their respective roles in the Sharat Katariya-directorial. Also, there are many punches in the film especially by Raghuvir Yadav and his on-screen wife, which may get many laughs out of the audience. Without being melodramatic, Sui Dhaaga takes us on a journey of a couple who dared to dream big and even turned their dream into reality.
Sui Dhaaga is directed by Sharat Katariya whose first directorial venture Dum Laga Ke Haisha was an instant hit among the audience. The film was also a neighbourhood affair of a mismatch couple. It marked the debut of actress Bhumi Pednekar in Bollywood.
