Param Sundari Box Office Day 5: Improving occupancy

Param Sundari movie review
While Param Sundari movie reviews have been mixed but many fans have praised the music track. However, the internet has not been kind to the limited portrayal of Sundari’s character, played by Janvi Kapoor, and the stereotyped display of Southern India. “Aiyoo, lungi dance & coconut. For decades, that’s been Bollywood’s entire research on south India,” posted a user on X (formerly Twitter).
After finding uncanny resemblances to Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express and Alia Bhatt’s 2 States, the critics have negated the claims on the internet. Param Sunari also faces steep competition from Lokah Chapter 1 in the box office of the southern states after receiving exceptional reviews for the film.
Netizens point out Janhvi Kapoor’s consistently poor performances on X, while explaining Shershaah to be the sole reason behind Malhotra’s fan base. However, some call it one of “those classic filmy love stories that grow on you.” Taran Adarsh, popular film critic, called Param Sundari’s box office collection on day 5, a “good Tuesday,” while awaiting how it does on Wednesday and Thursday for a complete week 1 report.
