The film, directed by Dinesh Vijan, collected Rs 5.61 crore on its opening day and witnessed a steady response on Saturday and Sunday by raking in Rs 5.11 crore and Rs 5.21 crore respectively.

'Raabta' is Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon's first film together.

The reviews of the film haven't been too impressive, and going by the verdicts of trade analysts like Taran Adarsh and Komal Nahta, it's not going to be successful at the ticket counters.

"Dull, dry and boring," Nahta tweeted about 'Raabta', while Adarsh said, "Terrible. Bad writing. Bad direction. Bad acting."
