Veer Pahariya’s second film, Prem Keetanu, also starring debutante Aadia Sayed, Rakesh Bedi, Aparshakti Khurana, Nikhil Vijay and others, arrived in theatres on Friday, October 2. The romantic comedy opened amid a box-office clash with Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam: The Conclusion, which recorded a strong opening, and the competition appears to have affected Prem Keetanu’s theatrical start.
Prem Keetanu Box Office Collection Day 1
According to Sacnilk, Prem Keetanu collected a net Rs 50 lakh in India on Day 1 across 1,886 shows. Its India gross collection stood at Rs 60 lakh, while overseas and worldwide gross figures were not available at the time of reporting.
Prem Keetanu Budget
The film reportedly has a budget of around Rs 3 crore, although the makers have not officially confirmed the figure. If the reported budget is accurate, the Day 1 collection can be described as a moderate start in relation to the reported production cost.
Is Prem Keetanu Remake Of Premalu?
The film has also been surrounded by speculation regarding its connection with the 2024 Malayalam romantic comedy Premalu. Reports had earlier claimed that Prem Keetanu was an official adaptation, with the makers facing backlash after the original reportedly disappeared from an OTT platform. However, Veer later clarified that Prem Keetanu is not a remake of Premalu.
Prem Keetanu Story
The story follows Vishal (Veer Pahariya), who falls for Suhani Sharma (Aadia Sayed). While Vishal dreams of moving to the US and building a life there, Suhani lands a corporate job under the pompous and arrogant Ranjeet (Aparshakti Khurana), who also develops an interest in her. What follows is a romantic rivalry between the two men as they try to win Suhani’s affection.
