Aamir Khan is back and so is the industry excitement for his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. Advances for the film opened on Friday and the response so far has been about average. Laal Singh Chaddha has sold approximately 30,000 tickets across India for the opening day as of now, with a total collection of Rs. 75 lakhs.

With 2 days to go, Laal Singh Chaddha is expected to make an advance of Rs. 5 crores for the opening day with pre-booking on weekends in the range of Rs. 8 million. This would mean that the 2nd best progress since the start of the pandemic after 83. Like 83even Laal Singh Chaddha is high on advance and low on walk-in film. But still, the start will be much better than 83 as Aamir Khan is one of Hindi cinema’s biggest multiplex stars.

Out of a total of 30,000 tickets, the three national chains have sold about 17,000 tickets, with the remaining 13,000 coming from the non-national chains. Outside the national chains, the advance is rather slow and the film will depend on the holiday factor to secure bookings on the spot. The best performing areas for Laal Singh Chaddha so far are Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Punjab and Kolkata. In fact, it has an easy edge over its competitor in these places, Raksha Bandhan and it is these centers that will also give it an edge Raksha Bandhan on the day of release in the general schedule.

Laal Singh Chaddha should target a first day collection in the range of Rs. 15 crores and then grow from strength to strength in the extended week of holidays thanks to positive word of mouth.
