NEW DELHI: The film Dolly Ki Dolly starring Sonam Kapoor with Pulkit Samrt, Rajkumar Rao and Varun Sharma has become a major hit in Pakistan earning Rs 50 lakh in its opening day on the big screen.

Produced by Kinesis Films and Arbaaz Khan Productions, the film also did good business in the United Arab Emirates.

The hilarious comedy was screened at 35 cinemas on 65 plus screens (68-70 screens approximately in total including e-print and DCP) in cinemas nationwide.

The success of the film in Pakistan could be due to the wholesome family entertainment quotient and the song "Mere Naina Kafir Ho Gaye" by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan- a hightlight in the film.

Malaika Arora Khan's item number and Saif Ali Khan's guest appearance all add to the Bollywood masala the film has to offer.

Kinesis Films director Samir Gupta said, “The film has performed very well in Pakistan in week 2 despite the other releases and is continuing in 30 cinemas even in week 3. While Khoobsurat had the advantage of the popular Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, this has been a super effort by Sonam and the rest of the cast to bring in family audiences and keep them entertained.”
