'Baar Baar Dekho' collects Rs 6.81 cr on Day 1

Director Nitya Mehra's "Baar Baar Dekho" is a romantic film that is uniquely conceptualised. It is technically well-packaged to give a holographic view of life, but the meandering narrative adds no meaning to the composition. This Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra starrer has collected Rs 6.81 cr at the box-office on day1 of its release. "#BaarBaarDekho was decent at select plexes... Will have to show substantial growth on Sat Sun to stay afloat... Fri ₹ 6.81 cr. India biz," trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted on his twitter handle. Themed live life for the moment, the film gives an insight into the life of Jai Varma (Sidharth Malhotra) a professor in Vedic Mathematics. A day before his wedding, to his childhood friend Diya Kapoor (Katrina Kaif), an artist, realisation dawns on him that his views on life and his dreams differ from his fiancee's. And, by sheer deus ex machina, a plot device, he gets transported in time, presenting his life forward. He realises this when his mother tells him, "Woh hi din baar, baar jeena ka mauka kisko milta hai?" How he tries to rectify his mistakes, by reliving the moments, forms the crux of the plot.
