auspicious
occasion

Shivratri.

starring

seems
the

struck
a
chord
with

it
is
performing
better
than
expected
in
the
current
scenario
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Speaking
about
its

at
the

Rs
1.35

Meanwhile,
Roohi
has
become
Rajkummar
Rao's
third
highest
all-time
opening
grosser
after
collecting
Rs.
12.58
crore
over
its
four
day
extended
weekend.
His
previous
releases,
Stree
and
Judgemental
Hai
Kya
had
collected
Rs.
31.26
crore
and
19
crore
respectively,
in
their
opening
weekend.
Earlier,
in
an
interview
with
a
tabloid,
Rao
had
opened
up
about
how
Roohi
is
different
from
Stree
and
said,
"It
is
a
very
different
world
and
character.
My
only
thing
was,
people
have
loved
Stree
so
much
and
they
know
Vicky
so
well,
so
I
wanted
to
make
Bhawra
very
different
from
Vicky.
I
gave
him
a
different
look
and
speech
pattern.
But
the
fun
is
pretty
similar,
so
I
really
hope
that
people
would
come
and
enjoy
this
as
much
as
they
enjoyed
Stree."
Roohi
is
helmed
by
Hardik
Mehta
and
produced
by
Dinesh
Vijan.
