Param Sundari may provide much-needed relief to the film exhibitors this month

It had been a hopeless case for Cine fans, filmmakers, and stakeholders alike, as the most awaited film of the month or year, tanked badly at the box office. The year 2025 hasn’t been particularly kind to Bollywood so far—several other big-star’s films in recent past months crashed badly at the box office right from their opening day. In such a scenario, a mid-sized film like Param Sundari finding its own comfortable space would be nothing short of a miracle.

The film is showing strong movement on BookMyShow in terms of audience interest. Although this has never been an actual parameter to judge the buzz, though initial expectations are certainly there as Industry insiders credit the film’s promotional assets for creating the right level of curiosity among audiences. The teaser and songs have worked well on the buzz meter, giving hope for a decent start. According to trade pundits, the film is likely to secure a double-digit opening—a strong number for a small to mid-budget project.

Of course, corporate bookings remain a talking point, especially with Maddock Films’ mixed track record in that department. Yet, given the benchmark set by their earlier blockbuster Stree 2, there’s confidence that Param Sundari could ride on both content and word-of-mouth to make its mark.

Posters to Teaser ‘Thama’ Strike Back

For Sidharth Malhotra, this release isn’t just another Friday — Sidharth Malhotra Hopes to Strike Back with Param Sundari and all eyes are on whether the star can finally win back audience attention. It has been nearly a decade since Sidharth truly tasted box office success. His last notable hit came with Kapoor & Sons in 2016. Since then, while several of his films didn’t live up to expectations commercially, Sidharth never backed down. He kept delivering committed performances with ‘Shershah and Mission Majnu’ like films, even in projects that struggled to click with the masses or absence in box-office.

Now, with Param Sundari, the actor is once again at the center of buzz. The timing of the release makes it even more interesting and it’s a chance to reconnect with his fanbase and remind the industry that he still has the charisma and talent to command the big screen.
