Janhvi
Kapoor,
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Varun
Sharma's
latest
release
Roohi
is
giving
the
team
plenty
of
reasons
to
say
'Let
the
music
play'.
Despite
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics,
the
horror
comedy
has
kept
the
ball
rolling
at
the
box
office.
It
has
come
as
a
breather
for
cinema
halls
and
distributers
who
were
waiting
for
the
dry
spell
at
the
box
office
to
end
after
a
lackluster
2020
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Reportedly,
Roohi
which
hit
the
big
screens
on
the
festival
of
Maha
Shivratri
(March
11,
2021),
has
surprised
a
major
section
of
trade
with
its
performance
at
the
ticket
windows.
If
the
early
estimates
are
to
be
believed,
the
Rajkummar
Rao-Janhvi
Kapoor
starrer
has
seen
a
jump
in
its
box
office
collection
on
Saturday
(Day
3)
as
compared
to
Friday
(Day
2)
(box
office
numbers
still
awaited).
As
per
a
report
in
Box
Office
India,
the
movie
collected
around
Rs.
2.75
crore
on
Day
3.
Roohi
minted
an
opening
collection
of
Rs
3.06
crore
on
Thursday,
followed
by
Rs
2.25
crore
on
Friday.
The
two-day
box
office
collection
stood
at
Rs.
5.31
crore.
Earlier,
after
watching
Roohi,
Janhvi
Kapoor's
father
and
producer
Boney
Kapoor
had
got
emotional
and
said
that
her
late
mother,
legendary
actress
Sridevi
would
have
been
proud
of
her.
Talking
about
the
horror-comedy
genre
gaining
popularity
in
India,
Janhvi
recently
said
in
an
interview
with
Deadline,
"In
the
past
2-3
years
I've
seen
a
lot
of
them.
It's
a
wonderful
genre,
all
the
jump-scares
as
well
as
the
comic-relief
aspects.
I
love
them
for
the
adrenalin
rush.
Especially
when
you
get
to
watch
it
communally
in
a
theater,
it's
a
wonderful
experience."
