Kunal Khemu's Vibe Surpasses Kareena Kapoor's Daayra at Box Office

Kunal Khemu's latest film Vibe has demonstrated stronger box office traction than the competing Daayra release, signalling audience preference for the actor's project in the opening phase of theatrical release.

With a domestic gross collection of Rs 5.22 crore accumulated over its first two days of release, Vibe established itself as the more dominant performer among competing titles vying for audience attention across Indian theatres.

The film's opening performance reflects continued interest in Khemu's filmography, even as other major releases attempt to capture market share. The pace of collections in the initial period typically serves as an indicator of audience reception and word-of-mouth momentum heading into the crucial weekend period.

Daayra, featuring established stars Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran, entered theatres simultaneously but has not matched the collection velocity demonstrated by Vibe. The comparative performance underscores the variable nature of audience preferences, where star power and production value must contend with narrative appeal and market positioning.

The coming days will reveal whether Vibe sustains its opening momentum or faces pressure from competing releases, while the full-weekend data will provide clearer indication of each film's commercial viability.
