Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s sci-fi romantic comedy, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” debuted in theaters on Friday, February 9th, with a decent opening collection of Rs 6.70 crore. While this wasn’t a spectacular start, the film managed to show a promising jump of nearly 40% on its second day, raking in Rs 9.50 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This brings the film’s total collection to Rs 16.20 crore in its first two days.
The film’s Saturday performance is particularly encouraging, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 22.16%. This suggests that positive word-of-mouth might be starting to build, potentially fueled by strong performances from the lead actors or unique elements like the human-AI love story.
The film recorded the highest occupancy with 65 percent, followed by cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune. Also starring Dharmendra, Dimple Kapadia, and Rakesh Bedi in pivotal roles, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is helmed by debut directors, Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah.
The movie tells a unique love story in the world of Artificial Intelligence. Shahid plays a scientist who develops feelings for an intelligent female robot, played by Kriti. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has recorded the highest opening day (overseas) for Shahid, grossing over $700k.
While it’s still early days to predict the film’s ultimate fate, the second-day growth is a positive sign. Romantic comedies generally tend to rely more heavily on word-of-mouth compared to action-packed blockbusters, so strong audience reception could propel the film’s performance in the coming days.
Here are some additional factors that could influence the film’s box office trajectory. Reviews from critics and audiences will play a crucial role in shaping public perception of the film. Upcoming releases and their performance at the box office could impact “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya”‘s audience share. The film’s release strategically coincides with Valentine’s Day weekend, which might see an increase in footfall for romantic movies.
With a decent start, a positive second-day jump, and the potential for word-of-mouth buzz, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” has shown early signs of promise. Whether it translates into sustained success at the box office remains to be seen, but the coming days will be crucial in determining its fate.
