The latest Bollywood romantic comedy Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui opened this week; starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor. This heartwarming film directed by Abhishek Kapoor was met with a largely positive response, which translated into initial success for the film at the box office. With its release generating interest among Indian audiences, it seems as though this charming new movie will continue to impress viewers until New Year’s Eve!
In this box office report, we take a look at the opening weekend collections for India’s number one romantic-comedy film Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. Making up for an average opening week (but still trailing behind previous releases) this part two blockbuster starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor opens at an impressive Rs.14.53cr with limited competition due to dark screening days in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Alongside success came hurdles too – with scenes in which Kareena breaks down around her mother being flagged off for rough language directed at women in Pakistani households; the CBFC are set to intervene soon enough after protests filed against those specific scenes of Saara Zamindari Ki Saugandhaalakanayya receive condemnation from feminist groups.
Currently playing in theaters and without competition from other recent or upcoming films, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is expected to maintain steady success at the box office. According to trade predictions, the film could earn Rs. 25 crores within one week of its release.
