On day 1, Laal Singh Chaddha’s box office performance has been less successful than anticipated. The advance reservations were not encouraging to start, and the lack of interest has been evident since the morning. The Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer has only had a meagre 15-20% occupancy nationwide, which is below the already low expectation and has shocked both the trade and the film industry. The greatest places are in Delhi and the NCR, followed by South and East Punjab and Mumbai, although even in these areas, Laal Singh Chaddha’s results are not even close to being noteworthy.
Morning reveals box office results for Laal Singh Chadha
Laal Singh Chaddha is expected to have a double-digit opening based on occupancy and trend, but that is hardly cause for celebration. Some in the industry had predicted an opening in the range of 16 to 18 crore nett, but based on current trends and our conversations with reliable trade sources, it appears that the Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer will bring in between 12 and 13 crore nett, which is unacceptably low for a movie with this kind of budget and star power given that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 debuted at 14.11 crore nett. Anything less would be disastrous from the very beginning.
Laal Singh Chaddha shocks the market.
There is no polite way to state the following: Laal Singh Chaddha is another high-profile Bollywood film that has shocked the industry, but this was to be expected given the general lack of enthusiasm among the populace and young people before to release. However, there is room for improvement—plenty, in fact—if the material resonates given the lengthy 5-day weekend that ends on Monday, August 15, which is also a significant national holiday for Independence Day, and the half holiday that follows on Tuesday, August 16. The commerce, industry, and team Laal Singh Chaddha are currently holding out hopeless hope for a significant resurgence.
