Starting off with Rs 7.25 crore, Kedarnath showed growth during the weekend. It earned Rs 9.75 crore and Rs 10.75 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Kedarnath marks the big Bollywood debut of Sara Ali Khan, and reunites Sushant and Abhishek after their 2013 critically acclaimed film Kai Po Che.
Set against the backdrop of the Uttarakhand floods in 2013, Kedarnath is a love story of a Hindu girl and a Muslim porter. The film has however been banned in Uttarakhand as people accused it of hurting Hindu sentiments and promoting love jihad.
“The dream was that I could pass on this story to some people. We shot the film in Uttarakhand. We stayed there for 40 days. I have the best memories of my career there. It is very disheartening to not give back to them because they have given me so much. And that is the only real regret,” Sara told PTI.

Director Abhishek Kapoor has also urged the Uttarakhand government to lift a ban on Kedarnath.
“I plead with the Uttarakhand government to please lift the ban on my film Kedarnath. It is an attempt to bring peace, harmony and healing to the people of this country. Please don’t deprive us of this opportunity,” Kapoor tweeted.
