According to a film trade analyst, Kedarnath has taken a "healthy start". "Business picked up during the course of the day (Friday). Saturday and Sunday business (is) crucial," he tweeted.
The film, produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP and Abhishek Kapoor's Guy In the Sky Pictures, tells the love story of a 'pithoo' and a pilgrim amidst the wrath of nature as the holy place drowns in flood. However, love rises above all.
It is set in the backdrop of the flash floods that wrecked the temple town in June 2013.
