The much-awaited family comedy-drama Daadi Ki Shaadi, starring Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma, has made a decent start at the box office. On its opening day, Friday, the film collected approximately ₹2.5 crore net in India, according to early estimates.
Opening Day Performance
The film, which released on May 9, 2026, saw moderate occupancy across multiplexes and single screens. The morning shows recorded around 15-20% occupancy, which improved slightly in the evening and night shows. The film's performance was better in metro cities compared to smaller towns.
Directed by a debutant filmmaker, Daadi Ki Shaadi revolves around a grandmother who decides to get married, leading to a series of comedic and emotional situations. The film also features an ensemble cast including Rajpal Yadav, Kiku Sharda, and Anu Kapoor in supporting roles.
Critical Reception
The film has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the performances of Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma, others felt the screenplay was predictable. The music, composed by Vishal Mishra, has been well-received with the title track gaining popularity.
Trade analysts suggest that the film's business will heavily depend on word-of-mouth over the weekend. With no major competition this week, Daadi Ki Shaadi has the potential to grow its collections if it connects with the family audience.
Day 1 Collection Details
- Net Collection (India): ₹2.5 crore
- Occupancy: Morning 15-20%, Afternoon 25%, Evening 30%, Night 25%
- Multiplex Contribution: 65%
- Single Screen Contribution: 35%
The film's budget is reportedly around ₹40 crore, and it needs to sustain well over the weekend to recover costs. The overseas collections are yet to be reported.
Neetu Kapoor, returning to the big screen after a hiatus, has been appreciated for her comic timing. Kapil Sharma, known for his TV shows, continues to experiment with his film choices. Daadi Ki Shaadi is produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Ravi Kapoor.
