The movie opened with an average response with its occupancy ranging between 30% and 35% in the morning and matinees shows on its first day. It picked up well in afternoon and evening shows. The film witnessed remarkable growth in its footfalls on Saturday and Sunday. It collected Rs 20.08 crores nett at the Indian Box Office in the first weekend.

The Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor starrer continued its rocking run on the weekdays too. When compared its opening day business, the collection of Raanjhanaa fell down by 25%+ on Monday and interestingly, it went up further on Tuesday. On the weekdays, the movie has collected Rs 14.85 crores at the domestic Box Office, taking its 7-day first week domestic total to Rs 34.93 crores nett.
