Kedarnath Box Office Collection: Sara Ali Khan Starrer Earns Rs 42 Crore in Week 1
Sara's debut film is still going steady at the box office.
Sara Ali Khan's debut film Kedarnath alongside Sushant Singh Rajput has managed to perform well at the Indian box office in its first week. The Abhishek Kapoor directorial, which released last week on December 7, has so far raked in Rs 42 crore at the ticket windows. Despite receiving a lukewarm response from the critics, the pilgrim love story seems to have impressed the moviegoers and has therefore continued to perform well at the BO. However, in the coming week, Kedarnath could face competition from Hollywood film Aquaman which has arrived in the theatres today, December 14.

According to the trade portal Boxofficeindia.com, "Kedarnath has done pretty well in its first week as it collected 42 crore nett approx and did see the weekdays hold up well."
"The results of Kedarnath in week one are better than most would have expected but it is still very important to follow through in the second week as the first week is just a decent total and not huge which would ensure the film is a success."
Apart from Aquaman, Kedarnath's biggest competition at the box office will be Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero. The film is releasing next week on December 21 and also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. Going by the buzz around Zero, it's very much likely that the box office collection of Kedarnath will suffer once the much-anticipated SRK film arrives in cinema halls. But till then Sara and Sushant's film has a chance to earn good mollah at the BO. Kedarnath Box Office Collection Day 4: Sara Ali Khan Starrer Remains Rock Solid, Rakes In Rs 32 Crore!
Meanwhile, Sara is currently busy promoting her second film Simmba which also releases this month. Co-starring Ranveer Singh, the action masala entertainer directed by Rohit Shetty is scheduled to hit the theatres on December 28. With two back-to-back releases, Saif Ali Khan's gorgeous daughter is certainly making her presence felt in Bollywood and how!
