Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's Mr & Mrs Mahi finally hit the big screens on Friday, 31 May. The sports drama directed by Sharan Sharma, opened to decent numbers at the box office and generally positive reviews.
According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 7 crore on Friday, surpassing the opening day collection of Rajkummar's latest film Srikanth, which made Rs 2.25 crore.
In addition, Mr & Mrs Mahi released in theatres on National Cinema Day and the audience could watch the movie at Rs 99 to Rs 199.
As per the report, the film witnessed an overall 56.15 percent Hindi occupancy rate. In Mumbai, the occupancy stood at 55.5 percent with 691 shows, in Delhi and NCR, 61.5 percent with 789 shows, and Jaipur observed the highest occupancy with 86 percent for 103 shows.
Mr & Mrs Mahi's theatrical release clashed with Divya Khossla’s Savi and children’s action-animation film Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan.
In their review of Mr & Mrs Mahi, The Quint's Pratikshya Mishra wrote, "Mr & Mrs Mahi isn’t a ‘bad film’ – it is rather enjoyable in bits despite its predictability. It just feels incomplete. This might be the rare instance where a film would’ve benefited from a longer screen time to let the audience actually understand ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’ because they both seemed like people who would benefit from some understanding, some grace."
