Box Office Report: Love Aaj Kal 2 (2020) Dips Continuously After Its Release

The much-anticipated romantic drama Love Aaj Kal 2 has unfortunately struggled with audience reception and is currently failing to generate the expected revenue at the box office. Despite a promising start, the film has seen a precipitous decline in its earnings.

Premiere and Early Performance

Produced by Maddock Films and Window Seat Films, Love Aaj Kal 2 managed to open to positive reviews and unofficially marked the biggest weekend entry for actor Kartik Aaryan. Audiences expressed varying degrees of satisfaction with the film during its inaugural week. On Friday, the film generated a significant opening with a haul of 12.40 crores, bolstering Kartik Aaryan's career record. However, overhe the weekend, the film's performance began to falter, recording 8.01 crores on Saturday and 8.10 crores on Sunday, resulting in a cumulative box office gross of 28.51 crores.

Continuos Decline in Earnings

The slide in viewership continued into the weekdays, with:

Monday: 2.75 crores were collected. Tuesday: The figures dipped to 2.40 crores. Wednesday: The film managed to collect only 2.04 crores, marking another steep decline.

After six days, the total domestic collection of Love Aaj Kal 2 stands at 35.70 crores. The film now faces stiff competition from new releases such as Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and Bhoot: The Haunted Ship, which are set to debut next Friday.

Critical Reception

While the film has generated buzz among its target audience, critical reception has not been particularly favorable. Critics have pointed to Love Aaj Kal 2's screenplay as underwhelming, with many viewing it as a significant disappointment for Kartik Aaryan fans. Additionally, the word of mouth among general audiences has also been unfavorable, further contributing to the film's performance issues.

Conclusion

Love Aaj Kal 2 is clearly underperforming compared to expectations. As it approaches its seventh day, the future of the film's box office prospects seems uncertain. Fans of Kartik Aaryan and Imtiaz Ali eagerly await the new films that will soon challenge the film's market share, hoping for a fresh wave of excitement.
