Prem Keetanu Box Office Collection Day 1: Veer Pahariya’s Film Opens 95% Lower Than His Debut Film Sky Force

Actor Veer Pahariya’s second film, Prem Keetanu, was released in theaters on October 2. The Hindi rom-com clashed with Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam -The Conclusions at the box office. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, Prem Keetanu had a very slow start at the box office. The film is also heavily inspired by the Malayalam blockbuster Premalu. Even though it’s not a scene-by-scene remake, the core plot is the same as Girish AD’s directorial.

How Much Did Prem Keetanu Earn At The Box Office On Opening Day?

It comes as no surprise that the Veer Pahariya starrer had a slow start at the box office despite releasing on a national holiday. The film went up against Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3, which witnessed a record-breaking opening-day collection. The film has earned 0.5 crore on day 1 across 1800 shows, with an occupancy rate of 12%.  With Veer Pahariya’s film receiving mixed to negative reviews, it is unlikely to gain momentum in the coming days.

Where Does Prem Keetanu Stand In Comparison To Sky Force?

Veer Pahariya made his acting debut in 2025 with the film Sky Force. The film also starred Akshay Kumar in the lead. Owing to the star presence, the film opened with 12.25 crore net in India. This makes Prem Keetanu’s opening-day collection 95% lower than Veer’s debut film.
