Popular Bollywood film directed by Imtiaz Ali entitled Love Aaj Kal, starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan was released last week on Friday. Thanks to Valentine’s Day coinciding with the release date, there has been an extremely large amount of promotion for this film leading to increased revenue as well.
In this recent box office report, we compare the opening weekend earnings of Love Aaj Kal to Kartik’s other projects while also looking at how they are doing compared to industry competition. Earning Rs. ???? cr over its opening weekend – which comes out to about ???? -Love Aaj Kal has surpassed Kartik’s previous records for biggest openings (Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety) and given him his third highest weekend grossing movie. In comparison, Pati Patni Aur Woh (35.94), Luka Chuppi (32.13), Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (22.75) and Kartik’s very own debut venture Pyaar Ka Punchnama 1(3.25) all fall under the shadow of Love Aaj Kal when it comes down to what they made in their opening weekends alone; let alone if you factor in overall numbers or showings across time frames.
