The much-anticipated film Mr And Mrs Mahi, directed by Sharan Sharma and featuring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, made a strong debut at the Indian box office. On its opening day, the movie garnered impressive collections, ranging between Rs 6.25 to 6.75 crores. There’s even a chance it might cross the Rs 7 crore mark. Notably, these numbers were achieved on Cinema Lovers Day, where tickets were attractively priced at a flat rate of Rs 99 for standard versions. Let’s dive into the details of this exciting start:
First-Day Box Office Collections
With approximately 7.5 to 8 lakh cinemagoers flocking to theaters, Mr And Mrs Mahi proved to be a crowd-puller. Considering that the film was initially slated for a direct digital release, its box office performance is commendable. The real test lies ahead as ticket rates return to normal on Saturday. The key for Mr And Mrs Mahi will be to maintain similar collections over the weekend, aiming for a total weekend collection close to Rs 20 crore nett. If the film sustains its momentum from Friday and continues to perform well on Saturday and Sunday, it could join the league of successful Bollywood movies.
Ticket Prices Matter
Mr And Mrs Mahi has sent a clear message to producers, exhibitors, and distributors: ticket prices matter. Audiences are willing to step into theaters when rates are reasonable. India, being a price-sensitive market, responded enthusiastically to the special Cinema Lovers Day pricing. Not only did Mr And Mrs Mahi benefit from this strategy, but other releases also witnessed higher collections than they would have at regular ticket rates.
Mr. Mrs Mahi Plot
The heartwarming story revolves around Mahendra Aggarwal (played by Rajkummar Rao), who dreams of becoming an Indian cricketer. However, circumstances force him to work at his father’s sports shop. His arranged marriage with Mahima (portrayed by Janhvi Kapoor) is based on her admiration for his honesty.
Post-wedding, Mahi, who shares Mahendra’s love for cricket, encourages him to pursue his passion. When professional cricket seems out of reach, Mahendra reluctantly agrees to become a coach. But fate takes an interesting turn when he realizes that Mahima herself has the potential to excel as a professional cricketer. Her father’s wish for her to become a doctor has kept her dreams at bay. As Mr. & Mrs. Mahi embark on their shared dream, they must navigate relationship challenges that lie ahead.
