Bhumi Pednekar's new film 'Thank You for Coming' opened with low box office collections on its first day of release, despite receiving positive reviews from film critics. The film collected Rs 80 lakh (nett) in India on Friday, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film is expected to pick up the pace over the weekend.
'Thank You for Coming' is an ensemble comedy directed by Karan Boolani and also stars Shehnaaz Gill, Kusha Kapila, Dolly Singh, and Shibani Bedi. The film is about five friends who navigate their relationships and sexuality.
Bhumi Pednekar has been known for her versatile acting skills in recent films like Bheed and Afwaah, but both films received only token theatrical releases and found a larger audience on streaming. 'Thank You for Coming' is her first full-fledged theatrical release in 2023.
It remains to be seen whether 'Thank You for Coming' will be able to overcome its slow start and pick up the pace over the weekend. The film's success will depend on its word-of-mouth buzz and the support of its female audience.
