Laal Singh Chaddha Box Office Collection – Day 1
Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film Laal Singh Chaddha has opened to a lukewarm response at the box office. According to early estimates, the film is headed for an opening day collection of Rs 11-12 Crore, which is considered to be a low start. However, it seems as though the film has not lived up to the hype, based on its opening day performance.
As of Wednesday morning, Laal Singh Chaddha had sold approximately 57,000 tickets for the opening day at three national chains: PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. The film industry is in shock and everyone is scrambling to figure out what went wrong. Khan is one of the most bankable stars in Bollywood, and his films usually open to strong numbers. Even Khan’s worst-standing film collected 15 Crore INR on an opening day.
It’s disappointing that the box office performances of Amir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan have been so underwhelming. Given the high-profile nature of both films, one would have expected them to perform much better. It seems likely that Laal Singh Chaddha‘s business will take a hit on Friday, but its ultimate fate will depend on how well it does over the weekend and on Monday (Independence Day).
Some movie analyst says “With the current state of affairs, it is unlikely that either movie will reach a particularly high total.” But it’s not the only movie by Amir Khan which received much hate from the troll brigade.
Laal Singh Chaddha still has some chance to do better over the next week because of the holidays, but the opening has dashed any hopes of it being a big box office success.
