Ken Karunaas' debut directorial Youth has hit a remarkable milestone — 50 days in theatres. Having already crossed Rs 82 crores at the box office over four weeks and made its OTT premiere, the film has continued to pull audiences to theatres, completing a golden jubilee run.
The makers marked the occasion with a heartfelt note, reflecting on the film's humble beginnings. "A young team came together with nothing but passion, hard work, and a dream to create something special. We believed in our story, but it was your love that transformed it into a 50-day celebration," they wrote, calling the audience's response their "greatest reward."
