Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 Opens Soft With ₹25 Lakh as Reviews Skew Negative

The weak start signals that the sequel’s branding plus a broad ‘masala’ pitch failed to draw crowds.

Overview

  • Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr’s rom-com, which released Friday, logged roughly ₹25 lakh on day 1 with occupancy reported in the 4–7% range, according to trade tracking.
  • Early takings stayed below Tiwary’s Laila Majnu debut of ₹45 lakh and followed limited show counts of just over 1,000 alongside competition from Dhurandhar 2 and Bhooth Bangla.
  • Reviews from outlets like Hindustan Times and The Indian Express fault the film’s script, dated lens on relationships, and tonal swings, while noting sincere work by the leads and a few light moments.
  • Pre-release buzz was low despite a trailer and new song Jaan Kadd Ke, and the ‘spiritual sequel’ link to the 2020 OTT title Ginny Weds Sunny did not convert into theatrical demand.
  • Trade coverage now pegs any recovery to weekend word-of-mouth, yet the early critical response offers little sign of the strong lift needed for a turnaround.
