Loveyapa Box Office: Khushi Kapoor-Junaid Khan’s Rom-Com Fights Fierce Rivalry, Grabs Hearts with Rs 2.65 Cr on Day 2 | Exciting Bollywood News
The much-anticipated Bollywood film “Loveyapa,” featuring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, is experiencing a sluggish start at the box office. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film raked in Rs 1.50 crore on its second day in India, following an initial collection of Rs 1.15 crore on its opening day. This brings the movie’s two-day cumulative earnings to Rs 2.65 crore, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk.
Despite its star-studded cast, including notable names like Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, and Kiku Sharda, “Loveyapa” saw limited occupancy in theaters, averaging 14.35% for its Hindi version on Saturday. Chennai led with the highest occupancy of 56% across just nine shows, while Bengaluru, Pune, and Mumbai reported 25.67%, 20.33%, and 20% occupancy, respectively.
The film faces stiff competition from “Badass Ravikumar,” starring Himesh Reshammiya and Prabhudeva, which also debuted the same day. “Badass Ravikumar” opened stronger with a collection of Rs. 2.75 crore and garnered Rs. 2 crore on its second day. While “Loveyapa” has received mixed reviews, “Badass Ravikumar” was harshly criticized by reviewers.
Adding to “Loveyapa’s” challenges is its categorization as a remake of the 2022 Tamil hit “Love Today,” a factor that seems to be contributing to its underwhelming performance. The film joins others like “Baby John” and “Deva,” which similarly struggle to captivate audiences with remakes. Meanwhile, re-releases such as Christopher Nolan’s iconic “Interstellar” and Harshvardhan Rane’s “Sanam Teri Kasam” continue to perform well, drawing decent numbers in theaters.
As audiences choose where to spend their cinematic time and money, “Loveyapa” will need to devise strategic steps to boost its box office appeal in the coming days.
