The magic of an ensemble cast fell pale to the anticipated second edition of Disney's sisters' tale, Frozen, with John Abraham, Pulkit Samrat, Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor starrer Pagalpanti being outshone by the animation. Despite lacklustre reviews, the Hindi comedy-drama earned a decent Rs 17.5 crore over its opening weekend, but fell short by approximately Rs 2 crore when compared to Frozen 2. The Hollywood animation, based on sisters Elsa and Ana, raked in Rs 19.10 crore over three days of its release, despite releasing in 1,300 screens, compared to the 3,000 screens that Pagalpanti released in.

Trade expert Amod Mehra finds the Hollywood film's victory befitting when stating, "Pagalpanti was outright rejected by critics and viewers. Although there is an audience for mindless comedies, no one wants to watch buffoonery. It is high time that producers think twice before investing their money. Meanwhile, Frozen 2 clicked with the kids, especially girls, despite releasing during a non-holiday period. The film will continue to enjoy a good run."
