Young star Kartik Aaryan has managed to find success yet again. His last 3 releases: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Luka Chuppi, and Pati Patni Aur Woh were all superhits but none have made it past 100 crores on the first day – until now! With his latest film released today looking poised for a bumper opening so far on Day One thanks to its reviews among other factors, this will be an exciting time for fans of Kartik’s work as these 2-digit numbers had previously eluded him until now.
His recent release, Love Aaj Kal, opened at 10 times the rate of his previous flick. With 1.24 crore rupees already made and counting, the movie has earned 27% more than Pati Patni Aur Woh did on its first day when it came out last month ($1 million vs $800,000). Of course, Valentine’s Day was a significant contributing factor to these strong numbers ($600 million worth), but even without that success Love Ajkal would have likely still achieved an impressive opening day for itself.
Here is looking at the Top-5 biggest openers of Kartik Aaryan in the recent times:
Love Aaj Kal – Rs. 12.40 crores
Pati Patni aur Woh – Rs. 9.10 crores
Luka Chuppi – Rs. 8.01 crores
Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 – Rs. 6.80 crores
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety – Rs. 6.42 crores
For the young star, the graph is on the upswing with every passing film and now it has to be seen where does the lifetime total of Love Aaj Kal land up. Kartik has delivered from the opening perspective though and from this point on it would be the merits of the film that would do the talking.
