Box office collections: Vicky-Sara's 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' gains momentum
Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan's Zara Hatke Zara Bachke arrived in the theaters on Friday alongside the highly-anticipated animated action film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.

Interestingly, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is this year's second romantic comedy to grace theaters, following Luv Ranjan's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.

In comparison to the film's opening-day earning of Rs. 5.49 crore (nett), the second-day collections have shown a significant increase, reaching Rs. 7.2 crore, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. This accounts for a notable 35% jump in the film's second-day collections. With these figures, the romantic drama has accumulated a total of approximately Rs. 12.69 crore within two days of its release.
