Made on a budget of approximately Rs 65-70 crore, the film’s fantastic business will soon put it on the rank of hit movies. After the Shehzada debacle, Kartik has revived himself at the box office with Satyaprem Ki Katha. Earlier, his Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 turned out to be a blockbuster hit, turning him into a bankable actor. On the other hand, Kiara Advani’s winning streak at the box office continues after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Jug Jugg Jeeyo.

Directed by Sameer Vidwans, Satyprem Ki Katha is the story of Sattu(Kartik) and Katha(Kiara). Sattu falls in love with Katha at first sight and luckily her parents approach him for a marriage proposal. Eventually, the two tie the knot but later their marital life hit a rough patch after Katha’s truth unravels. The film also stars Supriya Pathak, Gajraj Rao, Shikha Talsania and Rajpal Yadav. The film arrived in theatres on June 29, 2023.

The DesiMartini’s review reads, “The movie has enough meat in the second half for viewers to remain glued – but are they willing to give moviemakers a long rope? As Gajraj Rao astutely mentions in one of the scenes – tea doesn't develop taste if boiled too early; to which Katha replies – tea also turns harsh if kept on flame for a longer time. Unlike the first half, which is too stretched, the second is crisp and smartly edited. And, the movie does have a good message for all!”
