Prem Keetanu, the romantic drama of Veer Pahariya, has been struggling to record good earnings in India after its debut. Prem Keetanu, the romantic drama of Veer Pahariya, has earned about ₹50 lakh on its opening day in India. The film, though hyped for its Day 1 release, failed to get the crowds in theatres, despite all the hype that was created around the actor’s new project and the promotional push. The film was shown at 1,886 locations around the country with low attendance at morning and afternoon screenings.
