Ishq Vishk Rebound, directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari and part of the Ishq Vishk franchise, is having a slow start at the box office. According to Sacnilk.com, the film earned Rs 1 crore net on its opening day in India. On Saturday, i.e day 2, the movie minted over Rs 1.15 crores. With this, the film’s total earnings stand at Rs 2.15 Crores.
According to a report in Sacknilk, Ishq Vishk Rebound had an overall 16.82% Hindi Occupancy on Saturday, June 22, 2024. While the morning shows had 8.55% attendance, afternoon shows had 19.63%, evening shows had 18.72% and night shows had the highest at 20.64%. Overall, the film had an average Hindi occupancy of 15.37% for the day in theaters.
News18 Showsha’s review of the film read, “The disappointing camera work bogs down the film’s viewing experience. But fortunately, the actors manage to hold our hands until the end. Ishq Vishk Rebound is out and out Rohit Saraf’s film. He is the narrator of the film. His character, Raghav, often breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience and share his thoughts. The approach is heavily inspired from Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Emmy-award winning show Fleabag. In India, Kader Khan had done it in the 1980s with Ghar Ho Toh Aisa.”
Hrithik Roshan’s cousin Pashmina has made her acting debut in the film. At the trailer launch, producer Ramesh Taurani had revealed she had auditioned for the role and had not revealed her background until her family name popped up when she was signing the contract. In an interview with News18, Dharmadhikari said that though the role was tough to cast, when he found Pashmina, he knew she was a perfect fit.
“Pashmina was my only choice to play Samiya, nobody else came close. In that list of shortlisted names, there was only one name when it came to Samiya,” the filmmaker said. “I think Pashmina’s character was the toughest to cast, she plays a different character. Once you see the film you will understand. Her character walks a very thin line. But I think she got it absolutely right in her audition. Pashmina herself has a very enduring quality and that worked in her favour, especially when it came to casting Samiya.”
The film marks the second film in the Ishq Vishk franchise and features four fresh faces — Pashmina Roshan, Jibraan Khan, Rohit Suresh Saraf and Naila Grrewal.
