Laal Singh Chaddha Vs Raksha Bandhan box office: Aamir Khan starrer performs better than Akshay Kumar’s film on opening weekend

It looks like festivals and holidays are not doing magic to Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan at the box office. During the Raksha Bandhan festival, two mega films clashed at the box office, adding an extra advantage as it was an extended weekend and yet they failed to mint money at the box office. Nevertheless, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer is performing better than Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starrer.

Laal Singh Chaddha which is a remake of Forrest Gump earned Rs 10 crores on its first opening weekend, thus, crossing the 30 crore mark. The grand total becomes Rs 37.96 crores. On the other hand, Raksha Bandhan minted Rs 7.05 crores, making the grand total to Rs 28.16 crores. Considering that it is Independence Day today, it is to be seen how both the films perform at the box office.

Going by the latest trends, Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha is showing growth compared to Akshay Kumar starrer Raksha Bandhan. Moreover, considering that both films are headlined by two superstars of Bollywood, the box office numbers are a little disappointing. 

A breakout of Laal Singh Chaddha box office collections:

Day 1- Thursday – Rs 11.50 crores approx

Day 2 – Friday – Rs 7 crores approx

Day 3 – Saturday – Rs 8.75 crores approx

Day 4 – Sunday – Rs 10 crores approx

Total: Rs 37.96 crores approx

Bollywood Bubble gave 4 stars to Advait Chandan directorial venture. It is said that the movie is a beautiful adaptation of Forrest Gump. The film is no more or no less than the original.

Bollywood Bubble gave 1.5 stars to Aanand L Rai directorial venture. It read that the film tries hard to narrate a beautiful story of a sister and brother bond but with a problematic plot. It is a 2022 film but it seems to be made with a regressive mindset.
