Digital Desk: Laal
Singh Chaddha's box office performance fell short of expectations. The August
11 release of the Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor movie failed to capitalise on
the extended Raksha Bandhan weekend. The official Hindi version of Tom Hanks'
1994 film Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha, made between Rs 45 and Rs 46 crore
in five days. The box office performance of Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan,
which competed with the Aamir movie, has also been dismal; it is estimated to
have made only about Rs 33.5 crore in five days.
Laal Singh
Chaddha had great hopes for his film's box office success. However, the film's
early box office performance has fallen short of expectations. According to
trade sources, Laal Singh Chaddha earned between Rs 7.5 and 8.5 crore on Monday
in the local circuit. The film's five-day extended weekend profits increased to
approximately Rs 45–46 crore as a result.
The Raksha
Bandhan holiday effect may have passed by now, according to HT sources, and the
movie is anticipated to experience a steep decline on Tuesday, the sixth day of
its release. The way things are going, the business will probably be done by
the weekend. Considering that Laal Singh Chaddha is Aamir Khan's first movie in
four years, it is likely that the film won't be able to gross more than Rs 100
crore at the box office.
Comparatively
speaking, Laal Singh Chaddha has performed better abroad, although not quite as
well as was anticipated. Laal Singh Chaddha made well over $ 4 million (about
Rs 31 crore) during the course of its extended weekend, according to a report
in Box Office India. After KGF 2 and 83, the three-day weekend of the movie
ranked third best post-Covid-19 pandemic, but the four-day weekend elevated it
to the top spot. But the statistic was calculated by comparing four days to
three days for other films.
The play Laal
Singh Chaddha was written by actor-writer Atul Kulkarni and directed by Advait
Chandan. It features Mona Singh in addition to Aamir and Kareena, and it is
Naga Chaitanya's Bollywood debut. The movie gained notoriety before its release
when the hashtag "boycott Laal Singh Chaddha" became popular on
Twitter. The boycott movement against Laal Singh Chaddha prompted reactions
from Aamir, Kareena, Advait, and numerous other celebrities, which may have
contributed to the film's lacklustre box office performance.
