Amidst the plethora of record count of re-releases that hit the screens on Friday where Saman Teri Kasam and Interstellar scored the most, two original films arrived in theatres – Badass Ravi Kumar and Loveyapa. Former had opened decently at the box office on Friday while latter had been low. As the weekend progressed, neither of the two films made any huge gains.
The Himesh Reshammiya starrer had opened at Rs. 3.52 crores and though one expected that the collections will increase with every passing day, there wasn’t any elevation, and the weekend came to a close with Rs. 7.77 crores in the film’s kitty. Overall, though the numbers are decent since the film needs just Rs. 15-20 crores to recover its investment and it will reach there eventually due to the opening day.
As for Loveyapa, it should have done better but somehow audiences didn’t step in during the first day and then despite positive word of mouth, the exponential growth that one expected didn’t come in rest of the weekend. Yes, there was growth that resulted in Rs. 4 crores coming in overall. However, what it needs is Monday numbers to match that of Friday, which would have been possible had Saturday and Sunday doubled and tripled over Friday already. One waits to see how the first week numbers turn out to be for the Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor starrer as that would decide how the film enters the Valentine’s week.

Loveyapa has taken a low start at the box office. The film opened at Rs. 1 crore* on Friday and is at par with how the advance booking had suggested. That said, the film was expected to start better when it was announced since it targets Gen Z audiences, and one would have believed that this segment would ensure some sort of footfalls. However, this hasn’t quite happened.
That said, one hopes that the film sees some sort of a turnaround since it actually brings in entertainment for the young ones at least. Also, it’s pretty relatable since phone and social media addiction is a real thing and to bring that into mainstream with humour and drama interspersed in the narrative is actually cool.
For that to happen though, the Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor starrer would need to see a very good jump today and at least double up. That would be required for the film to have sort of traction that takes it into the Valentine’s season next weekend when youngsters are expected to flock theatres. That’s the target audience for the film and Loveyapa would be hoping to catch their attention by then.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
