Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:
Priyanka's Zanjeer, made on a budget of Rs.70 crore, got panned by the critics and audience while Shuddh Desi Romance, that was made on a budget of Rs.30 crore, impressed critics and audience for its fresh cast and storyline.
Also Shuddh Desi Romance opened to 1050 screens in the domestic market wheras Zanjeer opened to 2085 screens.
Parineeti Chopra is ecstatic with the response to the film and says she knew it would work ever since she read the script.
"When I read the script I was sure that this is going to be a very entertaining film. I was happy that Maneesh and Adi (Aditya Chopra from YRF) offered me this film because after 'Ishaqzaade' I wanted to do something different and 'Shuddh Desi Romance' clicked," Parineeti said here at a Nivea event.
"It has released and people are liking it, the reviews are good and all the performances and Jaideep (Sahni, scriptwriter) and Maneesh's work is being appreciated. When there are a lot of messages and missed calls on your phone, you like it. So, I am very happy," added the 24-year-old.
