"The film has performed better than the expected during the weekend. It's likely to sustain its earning this week as well," said Kadel.

Another expert Akshaye Rathi said that he has observed a surprising phenomenon which is rarely seen and may boost the film's earning.

"Kedarnath features a debutant and more people are coming to theatres to check out the debutant instead of the seasoned actor. There is a huge degree of anticipation and expectations around Sara Ali Khan among movie goers. More youngsters have come to the cinema to watch her," revealed Rathi.

When asked whether the movie will keep going strong this week, Rathi sounded positive.

"It is possible. That also entirely depends on how the people are liking the film. Whether people are liking the film or not will be decided by today's number," said Rathi.
