On August 11, two grand motion pictures – Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan – arrived in cinemas across the country with leading actors Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar taking centre stage. Laal Singh Chaddha, backed by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios has a stellar cast of Aamir Khan Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Chaitanya Akkineni. Directed by celebrated filmmaker Aanand L Rai, Raksha Bandhan stars the prolific duo of Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar.
With this box office analysis, we take an in–depth examination of the performance of Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan across India’s movie chains. Though the hype was off the charts for these films, both of them have failed to generate as much revenue as expected. Consequently, shows are being removed and replaced by other flicks; a season that could’ve been profitable appears to have proven unlucky for these two movies.
