With a good opening, the film has emerged as the third best opener of the year behind Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat and Akshay Kumar's Padman. In fact, the morning show occupancy of the film was better than Padman, but due to a lower screen count it earned the status of the third best opener.

Talking about the film's good opening day, senior trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and wrote the following:

#SonuKeTituKiSweety takes a WINNING START... Emerges the third best opener of 2018 [thus far], after #Padmaavat and #PadMan... Biz is expected zoom upwards on Sat and Sun... Fri ₹ 6.42 cr. India biz... #SKTKS

Boxoffice can be most unpredictable, but that’s the beauty of this business... No A-list stars... Tongue-twister title... No film franchise... No festival/holiday release... Yet, BO is smiling on #SonuKeTituKiSweety... #RealityCheck... #WakeUpCall... #SKTKS
