Laal Singh Chaddha crashes at the box office, earns just Rs 46 cr in its five day extended weekend


By Rajesh Ahuja

Continuing with its poor run at box office in India,  Laal Singh Chaddha failed to enthuse audiences across the country,  ending with just Rs 46 cr in the five day extended Independence day weekend.

After below expectations collections of Rs 11.5 cr on its opening day,  Laal Singh Chaddha, which had been released to high expectations,  failed to show much growth during the extended five day weekend,  which included the Independence day on Monday.

The film earned Rs 7.25 cr on Friday,  Rs 8.75 cr on Saturday,  Rs 10 cr on Sunday and Rs 8 cr on Monday.

The film's earning in the Independence day weekend came to a mere Rs 46 cr, which is below the opening day figure of Thugs of Hindostan.


Laal Singh Chaddha crashes at the box office in India, earns just Rs 46 cr in its opening weekend 




The film's collection of Rs 46 cr in the opening weekend came despite the huge hype surrounding the film  and the presence of Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The opening day collections of Laal Singh Chaddha at Rs 11.5 cr is the lowest for an Aamir Khan film in the last one decade.

The woefully poor run by the film has come as a shock to the film trade considering that it comes in the wake of the failure of many big starrers like Jersey, Attack, Runway 34, Dhaakad,  Heropanti2 and Prithviraj to draw crowds to the theatres.

Infact,  barring The Kashmir Files,  Bhool Bhulaiya2 and Jug Jugg Jeeyo,  most Hindi films released in cinemas in recent months have failed to set the box office on fire.

Laal Singh Chaddha performed well in Delhi and NCR and in Punjab.  However the film performed poorly in mass circuits like Mumbai,  Gujarat and Pune.  It has also failed to draw crowds at the theatres in places like Uttar Pradesh.

Directed by Advait Chandan and Produced by Aamir Khan Productions and  Viacom18 Studios, Laal Singh Chaddha is a remake of the 1994 Hollywood film Forrest Gump .

 The film stars Aamir Khan in the title role  alongside Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya  and Mona Singh. South  Indian  actor  Naga Chaitanya makes his Hindi film debut with Laal Singh Chaddha.

The film has been in the making for the last four years. Its release  was constantly delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Laal Singh Chaddha has evoked criticism from several quarters for its uncomplementary portrayal of the Army.

 Nafisa Ali, not Padmini Kolhapure, was the first choice for Nasir Hussain's Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai  By Rajesh Ahuja   Padmini Kolhapure may today seem the obvious choice for Nasir Hussain's musical thriller Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai with her natural beauty and vivacity but not many are aware that she was not the original choice for the film.  The original choice for the female lead in Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai , which created a buzz for its chartbuster music,  was former Miss India Nafisa Ali, it has been revealed in Rishi Kapoor's autobiography Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor uncensored.  Writing in his autobiography,  Rishi Kapoor,  who was the male lead for the film, said, 'around the same time as Junoon (which was the debut cinematic venture of Nafisa Ali) , Nasir Hussain was drawing up a contract with Nafisa Ali to work with me in Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai .
