How much did Couple Friendly collect on day 3?

Not many were aware of the film initially, though it opened with positive word of mouth. Day-one collections were quite low, but as positive talk spread on days two and three, things changed big time. The youthful romantic drama grossed ₹4 crore in the first two days and added another ₹2 crore on day three, as per Sacnilk. With this, the total collections have crossed ₹6 crore. This is a decent number and is expected to grow further in the coming days.

What are Couple Friendly's US collections?

In the US as well, the film is slowly picking up and has reportedly collected $50,000 to date, as per M9 News. With no other big releases ahead, Couple Friendly is expected to draw more crowds.

Manasa and Santosh are aggressively promoting the film across the Telugu states. Before the release, the makers did not promote the film much, which is why not many knew about it.

Now that the lead pair is reaching out to the masses, things are slowly improving. Manasa Varanasi has become a talking point because of her excellent performance. The film has a strong twist in the second half related to the heroine’s health, which changes the course of the story.

The realistic narration and emotional romance are being appreciated. Santosh Shobhan, who started his career with a bang but faced a series of flops, has made a comeback with this film. His mature performance is being widely praised.

What is the storyline of Couple Friendly?

Directed by Ashwin Chandrashekar, the film revolves around a couple who enter into a live-in relationship in Chennai. Ego clashes create tension, and a shocking health-related twist brings major changes to their lives.

The makers now need to create more buzz to keep the film in the news. The best part is that Prabhas watched the film and appreciated it. However, the film still needs stronger backing. It remains to be seen how long the makers can sustain its momentum. Stay tuned for more updates.
