Mausam earns Rs 9 crore on opening day

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut Mausam starring his son Shahid Kapoor and actress Sonam Kapoor had a good opening on Friday as it earned approximately Rs 9 crore on the first day, an informed source said.

Made at a budget of Rs 35 crore, the film released in around 1,900 screens and is going strong with 100 per cent occupancy. The film, as per the makers, attempts to bring back the true romance of the bygone era.

Mausam is a love story which shows how a couple is forced into alienation because of the socio-political situations around them.

It captures the crest and trough they go through a span of 10 years until they reunite and make a happy ending.

Shahid Kapoor plays the role of an air force pilot while Sonam Kapoor plays a Kashmiri girl.

The film was supposed to release on September 16 but it was postponed after the delay in getting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Indian Air Force which had objections over a few scenes.
