Disappointing run for Bollywood films continues, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui earns Rs 3.25 cr on Friday 


By Rajesh Ahuja

The Disappointing run for Bollywood films released after Sooryavanshi continues with the latest release Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui earning just over Rs 3  cr on its opening day on Friday.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui , which stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor in lead roles,  earned Rs 3.25 cr on Friday. A large chunk of collections of the film came from Delhi NCR and Chandigarh.  However,  collections of the film were quite low in other areas, including Mumbai, Kolkata,  Bangalore and Pune.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui earns Rs 3.25 cr on opening day 



The disappointing collections of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui are mainly àttributed to its lack of mass appeal.

Trade experts feel that with its unconventional love story of a bodybuilder and a trans woman ,  Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui failed to draw masses to the theatres.

While the film has evoked praise from critics for its unconventional theme and a story that sends across a message to society,  the subject has failed to generate a mass appeal.

Directed by Abhishek Kapoor,  Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor in lead roles.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui continues the disappointing run of Bollywood films after the overwhelming response generated by the Akshay Kumar Katrina Kaif starrer Sooryavanshi

Barring Tadap and Antim The Final Truth,  most of the Bollywood films released after Sooryavanshi, including Bunty Aur Babli2 and  Satyameva Jayate 2  have have proved to be  disappointing fares at the box office.

The film trade has pinned a lot of hope on the upcoming films in December like 83 , Pushpa, Spider-Man and Jersey, which are scheduled to release in cinemas in the coming weeks.
