Rhea Kapoor on Thank You For Coming’s performance at the box office on opening day
Thank You For Coming is off to a good start as it collected Rs 1.06 crore nett on Day 1 (Friday) in India. Considering its release on limited screens with just over 800 screens worldwide, the film has put together a healthy number for Day 1. Reacting to this, Rhea Kapoor told Pinkvilla, “It feels really good. We are just trying to make a place for young girls and boys to come and watch these movies, enjoy themselves, escape, have fun, and feel good about themselves. A lot of people will underestimate these films, won't give these films the value they deserve but I think with every step we want to keep proving them wrong, and want to take it further and further.”
She further added, “For me, the critical acclaim on this movie has been so overwhelming because it was always a case of, 'Oh, it’s a chick flick, leave your brain behind,' but this movie has proved that just because things are feminine and fun, doesn't mean they lack substance.”
Rhea Kapoor on the potential for growth during a weekend at the box office
When asked if she sees potential for the film’s growth at the box office during the weekend, she said, “Yeah of course I do. I am really happy with the way the audience has reacted to the film, and that there are happy faces coming out of the cinema, there are claps and hooting and laughing. As a filmmaker, what else do you want? This is a story concept and idea that has never been done. To be able to go out there with this unconventional star cast, and be able to get people to come out of their homes, check out this film, and give this idea a chance, has been rewarding. Because there's no point doing the same thing as everybody else. Somebody's got to take the first step,” said Rhea.
