Box office: Mili, starring Janhvi Kapoor, and Double XL, starring Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi, have weak debuts.

It was a disappointing weekend at the box office, as two much-anticipated films failed to make a strong debut. Mili, starring Janhvi Kapoor, and Double XL, starring Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi, both underperformed. Mili was expected to do well given Kapoor’s star power, but it only managed to earn Rs. 3 crore.

Double XL fared even worse, earning just Rs. 2 crore. These weak debuts are a setback for both actresses, who are trying to establish themselves in the industry. Kapoor is the daughter of late actress Sridevi, while Sinha is the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha.

Qureshi, meanwhile, is a well-known name in the Hindi film industry but has yet to have a breakout hit. It’s possible that both films will see a uptick in business over the weekend, but it’s clear that they have a lot of ground to make up.

Box Office Update: Mili and Double XL Struggle with Weak Debuts

The recent releases of Mili, starring Janhvi Kapoor, and Double XL, featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi, have faced disappointing debuts at the box office, signaling a challenging time for both films. Despite strong performances by the lead actresses and solid promotional campaigns, neither film has managed to make a significant impact in its opening week, leading to mixed reviews and concerns about their future prospects.

Mili – Janhvi Kapoor’s Attempt at a Thriller Faces Challenges

Directed by Mathukutty Xavier, Mili marks a departure for Janhvi Kapoor, as it features her in a survival thriller, a genre that’s not typically associated with her previous roles. In the film, Janhvi plays the title character Mili, a woman trapped in a freezer.

trying to survive against all odds. While the premise was intriguing and had the potential to draw in audiences seeking a gripping survival story, the film’s execution and pacing have left much to be desired.

At the box office, Mili had a muted response, collecting a modest opening despite the star power of Janhvi. Fans had hoped her portrayal would carry the film forward, but the narrative’s lack of momentum and a weak storyline dampened interest.

Critics have cited the film’s predictability and an inconsistent script as key factors contributing to its underwhelming performance. A Twitter user commented, “Mili could’ve been a great thriller, but it falls flat. Janhvi Kapoor tried her best, but the story just didn’t work.”

Despite the initial setback, industry insiders suggest that Mili might pick up over the coming weeks with strong word-of-mouth from those who enjoy survival dramas. However, for now, the film is struggling to compete against bigger releases and faces a steep climb to recoup its budget.

Double XL – A Missed Opportunity for Female-Centric Storytelling

On the other hand, Double XL, a film directed by Satramm Ramani, was touted as a significant step in breaking body image stereotypes, with its female-centric storyline about two women, played by Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi, navigating societal pressures related to body image. The film was praised for its message of body positivity and self-acceptance, yet its box office numbers failed to reflect the potential impact of such a theme.

Despite the strong performances from Sonakshi and Huma, Double XL couldn’t capture the audience’s attention in the way many had hoped. The film’s slow pacing and lack of engaging comedy or drama failed to draw in larger crowds. The film had a soft weekend, further highlighting the market dominated by high-budget commercial films.
