Laal Singh Chaddha is contending with Zero to be declared the most remarkable flop for a Khan in the last 15 years. Not even the Christmas holidays could do anything to augment the fortunes of this film. According to our sources, Laal Singh Chaddha is one of the few Hindi films to demonstrate a reduction in revenue on a national holiday. Predictions signify that the fifth day should acquire anywhere from Rs. 7.80 to 8.40 crores for this Aamir Khan film. The aggregate collections of Laal Singh Chaddha in India amount to Rs. 46 crores thus far, and this number…

The highly anticipated and much-hyped Laal Singh Chaddha featuring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan finally opened in theatres on Thursday, August 11. Though the movie made a modest start in its domestic run, it has been creating a buzz and doing remarkable business in the overseas markets. It is touted to be one of the highest grossing films of the year. In this analysis of box office collections, we will look at Laal Singh Chaddha’s overseas revenue split across the various territories. As expected, the movie has been immensely successful in North America, where it has raked in a…

The much-awaited and highly anticipated Aamir Khan starrer, Laal Singh Chaddha, has been making waves ever since the news of its release was announced. Directed by Advait Chandan and featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan in a lead role, the film is a remake of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. Despite the enthusiasm and the high expectations of fans, Laal Singh Chaddha did not perform as well as expected in the domestic market, garnering only Rs. 11.70 cr. on the first day of its release. The Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, which has been much discussed and awaited with enthusiasm, has been…

On Monday, Independence Day, Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan were released in cinemas but neither of them managed to grab the attention of viewers, instead both films went down. Laal Singh Chaddha declined by a whopping 20% while Raksha Bandhan dropped by 10%. This was surprising, since on this day the two films should have both gone up by at least 20%. Had this been the case, their performance throughout the week would have been better and might have saved them from the expected crashing results. Unfortunately, this wasn’t to be and a drastic drop in numbers is unavoidable.…

On Sunday, Laal Singh Chaddha’s collection decreased from Rs. 10 crores to Rs. 7.87 crores on Monday, and Raksha Bandhan dropped from Rs. 7.05 crores to Rs. 6.31 crores. It is highly concerning that on the biggest national holiday that was arriving at the close of the extended five day weekend, both films garnered some of their weakest numbers in this time span. Laal Singh Chaddha’s lowest collection was Rs. 7.26 crores on Friday, which then marginally improved to Rs. 7.87 crores on Monday. Raksha Bandhan experienced the lowest number of Rs. 6.40 crores on Friday and then it dropped…

Last Thursday, 11th August saw the release of two major films: Aamir Khan – Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar – Bhumi Pednekar’s Raksha Bandhan. The industry expected a promising business due to both holidays in celebration – Rakshabandhan and India’s Independence Day. However, much to everyone’s surprise, the response at the box office has been tepid. The figures have only diminished steadily ever since their underwhelming opening day collections. Last Thursday, 11th August saw the release of two major films: Aamir Khan – Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar – Bhumi Pednekar’s Raksha…

The highly anticipated release of Laal Singh Chaddha by Aamir Khan, which was expected to do exceedingly well at the box office, has unfortunately turned out to be a complete disaster. With only Rs. 46 crores earned in its initial four-day run, the collections dropped significantly on day five and landed in the range of Rs. 1.85 to 2.15 crores taking the total earnings up to a dismal Rs. 48 crores – an overwhelming failure when compared with what was expected from such a legendary actor as Aamir Khan. Laal Singh Chaddha is anticipated to end its theatrical run with…

Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan experienced a disastrous opening on its first Tuesday, falling drastically short of expectations after six days. As per our estimations, it earned around 1.35-1.75 crores, amassing a total collection of Rs 36 crores. Tuesday saw an 82 percent decrease in the movie’s revenue making it one of the most remarkable downfalls over the past decade. Raksha Bandhan is heading towards becoming a colossal theatrical disaster with Tuesday’s collections, and its trend is much worse than Akshay Kumar’s recent releases such as Prithviraj, Bachchan Pandey and Bell Bottom. This film will end up with lifetime earnings well…

The outlook is dismal for Bollywood as this holiday season has been marked by a depressing dearth of box office success for newly released films. In the past, it was possible to chalk up some revenue when two high-profile movies clashed; but even then both would often suffer. The circumstances of Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan are particularly worrisome though, not because they lack screen space or are in danger of faltering against competition in the weeks ahead, but because audiences refused to give them an opening week opportunity – one that should have taken advantage of its being…

Ever since the trailer for Aamir Khan’s movie Laal Singh Chaddha was released, the film has been subject to massive backlash with ‘Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha’ trending on social media. It underperformed at the box office and was unable to captivate audiences. Nevertheless, industry insiders highly praised the project but unfortunately that wasn’t enough. Producer Ekta Kapoor came forward in support of her leading star Aamir Khan, adamantly expressing that such a distinguished figure should not be subjected to boycott and injustice. Ekta Kapoor, an acclaimed television executive and producer in the Indian film industry (Bollywood), recently shared her thoughts…
