While Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna’s historical epic ‘Chhava’ continues to dominate the box office with record-breaking numbers, Arjun Kapoor’s romantic comedy ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ struggles to stay afloat.
‘Chhava’ Maintains Stronghold at the Box Office
Even beyond its blockbuster opening weekend, ‘Chhava’ is proving to be a box office powerhouse, showing remarkable stability in its weekday collections. After an impressive first week total of ₹219.25 crore, the film has sustained its momentum well into the second week.
Here’s how ‘Chhava’ has performed so far:
- Day 8 (2nd Friday): ₹23.5 crore
- Day 9 (2nd Saturday): ₹44 crore
- Day 10 (2nd Sunday): ₹40 crore
- Day 11 (2nd Monday): ₹18.5 crore
- Day 12 (2nd Tuesday): ₹17 crore
Total Box Office Collection (India): ₹362.25 crore
With this, ‘Chhava’ has officially crossed the ₹350 crore mark, solidifying its place among the biggest hits of the year. The film’s consistent earnings, even on weekdays, indicate that it has struck a chord with the audience, outperforming many other recent releases.
Meanwhile, ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ Fails to Impress
In stark contrast, Arjun Kapoor’s ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ is struggling to even recover its production costs. Despite an IMDb rating of 8.5, the film has failed to attract footfalls in theaters.
- Production Budget: ₹60 crore
- Total Box Office Collection: ₹5.55 crore
- Tuesday Collection: ₹50 lakh
The numbers indicate that the film is unlikely to break even, making it one of the biggest disappointments of the year so far.
Budget, Ratings & Audience Response
| Film | IMDb Rating | Budget | Total Collection | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chhava | 8.1 | ₹130 Cr | ₹362.25 Cr | Blockbuster |
| Mere Husband Ki Biwi | 8.5 | ₹60 Cr | ₹5.55 Cr | Flop |
Final Verdict
With ‘Chhava’ storming past ₹350 crore, it continues to set benchmarks at the box office. Meanwhile, ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ faces an uphill battle, unable to draw audiences despite positive ratings. The stark contrast in the fate of these films highlights the audience’s clear preference—big-screen spectacles with engaging storytelling continue to rule the box office.
