Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh's film, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi', has been a complete box office failure. Released on February 21st, the film failed to resonate with audiences, resulting in disappointing box office returns. The makers, hoping Mudassar Aziz's romantic comedy centered on a love triangle would be a hit, are facing a stark reality reflected in the box office numbers.
Poor Box Office Performance
The box office collection of 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' continues to be disappointing. The film failed to achieve significant success from its opening day, and a week later, the box office figures have been revealed. The film's total earnings so far stand at a mere ₹6.7 crore, which doesn't bode well for its future prospects.
Earnings in a Week
According to Saknilk's report, the film earned ₹1.5 crore on its first day, rising to ₹1.7 crore on the second. The third day saw ₹1.25 crore, followed by ₹0.6 crore on the fourth, ₹0.58 crore on the fifth, ₹0.64 crore on the sixth, and a mere ₹0.43 crore on the seventh day. These figures indicate a lack of positive audience response and a weak theatrical performance.
Reasons for the Film's Failure?
A significant factor contributing to the poor performance of Arjun Kapoor's film is attributed to the success of Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhara'. Released on February 14th, 'Chhara' has captured audience attention, drawing large crowds to theaters. This has consequently impacted the viewership of 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi'.
Failed to Earn Even Half of its Budget
With a reported budget of ₹60 crore, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' has earned less than half its budget in a week. This demonstrates a significant box office failure, with little chance of recovery. The poor box office performance suggests the producers may struggle to recoup their investment. While there's a possibility of increased revenue upon its release on OTT platforms, its theatrical run has clearly failed to win over audiences.
Another Setback for Arjun Kapoor
The failure of 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' could represent a significant setback for Arjun Kapoor's career. Several of his recent films have underperformed at the box office, and this latest failure adds to the list. Amidst the increasing competition in the film industry, it remains to be seen whether Arjun Kapoor can overcome this negative trend with his upcoming films.
