13th June 2023, Mumbai: Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, faced a major setback as it witnessed a substantial decline in box office collections on its second Monday, June 12. According to trade reports, the film experienced a drop of over 50% in its collection on Day 11. This decline raises questions about the movie’s performance during the weekdays, which will determine its sustainability in theaters.
After a promising start, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke released on June 2 to much anticipation. On its opening day, the romantic drama managed to earn approximately Rs 5.25 crore and gradually gained momentum. The film reached its peak during the first weekend, amassing nearly Rs 37 crore within its first week in India. However, on Day 11, June 12, the movie’s earnings were estimated to be around Rs 2.70 crore nett at the domestic box office, bringing the total 11-day collection to Rs 56.25 crore in India. This week is crucial for Zara Hatke Zara Bachke as it faces tough competition from Prabhas’ Adipurush, The Flash, and Extraction 2, all slated for release. With a significant number of theaters likely to be assigned to the new releases, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke may be forced out of several theaters. The film will need to conjure up its own magic to hold its ground in the face of such fierce competition.
Although Zara Hatke Zara Bachke has already surpassed the 50 crore milestone, its future prospects remain uncertain. The film’s theatrical run will depend on its ability to captivate audiences amidst the arrival of highly anticipated releases. Only time will tell if this romantic drama can withstand the challenges and continue to shine on the big screen.
