Laal Singh Chaddha, a film helmed by Advait Chandan and starring Aamir Khan, had its theatrical release on Thursday. On the opening day, its overseas collections were slightly below Thugs of Hindostan’s opening day, though it had more screens. However, it witnessed an increase of 68.23% and 140.36% on its second and third day of release respectively in Australia and New Zealand, respectively. It sustained its upward trajectory over the following days as well.
On the holy day of Raksha Bandhan, August 11, the much–awaited Akshay Kumar starrer Raksha Bandhan hit the theatres, with an ensemble cast including Bhumi Pednekar and was helmed by the popular Aanand L Rai. Unfortunately, at the box office, the film encountered a formidable opponent in the form of Laal Singh Chaddha featuring the eminent Aamir Khan.
