Aamir Khan’s movie Laal Singh Chaddha opened to mixed reviews. To some, it felt like a breath of fresh air, while others found it a disappointing remake. It was released in theatres on 11 August 2022 and clashed with Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Raksha Bandhan. Laal Singh Chaddha box office collection on first day managed to score in double digits but the numbers seem low keeping in mind the promotions, mega starcast and the tag of American classic Forrest Gump.
Laal Singh Chaddha Box Office Collection Day 1:
According to the BoxOfficeIndia report, Laal Singh Chaddha has collected Rs 10-11 crore net on day one of its release. The numbers are disappointing as the expectations were huge. Laal Singh Chaddha’s opening is lesser than Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhuliayaa 2, which recorded Rs 14.11 crore on the first day of its release. Even Akshay Kumar’s box office disaster Bachchhan Pandey recorded an opening of Rs 13.25 crore.
Why Laal Singh Chaddha had a low box office opening?
There are primarily two reasons why Laal Singh Chaddha had a low opening. Firstly, the film clashed with Akshay Kumar starrer Raksha Bandhan, which is a comedy-drama film and a nice film to watch with family on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
The second reason is the boycott trend that has surrounded Aamir Khan’s movie. For the past few weeks, #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha has been trending on Twitter. Certain people have boycotted the film because of Aamir Khan’s old remark where he called India an ‘intolerant nation’. People have also accused Aamir to be hinduphobic and have cited his film PK as an example.
