Both The Films Witness Big Drop

After
a
gap
of
four
years,
Bollywood
superstar
Aamir
Khan
marked
his
return
on
the
big
screen
with
Advait
Chandan’s
much
awaited
film

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
which
hit
the
screens
on
August
11.

On
the
same
day,
Akshay
Kumar-Bhumi
Pednekar’s

Raksha
Bandhan
also
released
in
theatres.
The
film
marked
Akshay’s
second
collaboration
with
Aanand
L
Rai
after
the
2021
film

Atrangi
Re
which
also
featured
Dhanush
and
Sara
Ali
Khan.

Unfortunately,
both
the
Independence
Day
releases
(Laal
Singh
Chaddha
and

Raksha
Bandhan)
failed
to
impress
cinegoers
and
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
at
the
box
office.
Both
the
movies
also
received
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics.

Speaking
about

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
the
Aamir
Khan-starrer
made
on
an
estimated
budget
of
Rs
180
Crore,
received
a
lukewarm
opening
of
Rs
12
Crore.
Over
the
weekend,
the
film
failed
to
score
big
and
manage
to
rake
in
Rs
37.96
Crore.
The
film
witnessed
a
drop
on
Monday
and
collected
Rs
7.87
Crore
taking
the
total
five-day
collection
to
Rs
45.83
Crore.

With
it
comes
to
its
performance
on
Day
2,
early
trends
suggest
that
the
film
plummeted
further
and
collected
around
Rs
1-2
Crore
on
Day
6.

Coming
to
Raksha
Bandhan,
the
Akshay
Kumar
film
was
panned
for
its
regressive
storyline
upon
release
and
managed
to
mint
an
opening
of
Rs
8.20
Crore.
However
like
Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
this
movie
also
failed
to
meet
the
expectations
of
the
audience
and
collected
just
Rs
34.47
Crore
in
five
days.

Talking
about
how
it
fared
at
the
ticket
windows,

Raksha
Bandhan
also
crashed
at
the
box
office
on
Tuesday
and
as
per
early
estimates,
collected
between
Rs
1-2
Crore.

It’s
shocking
how
both
the
films
have
underperformed
at
the
box
office.
