Movie Review - Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon)
A
Box Office India report says that the movie has broken the record previously held by
Student Of The Year which marked the debut of actors Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan and made Rs 7.5 crores on its opening day.
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon's opening day figures are also higher than Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty's much-hyped and aggressively-promoted
Hero which scooped around Rs 6 crores on its first day. The first day collections are also higher than that of this year's
Brothers and
Tanu Weds Manu Returns, but lesser than that of
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, ABCD 2 and
Welcome Back.
Besides Kapil, the cast of the Abbas Mustan-directed laugh riot includes Elli Avram, Simran Kaur Mundi and Manjari Phadnis.
