Day 5 box office earnings for Laal Singh Chadha: The movie might be over by next week
Laal Singh Chaddha’s box office performance fell short of expectations. The August 11 release of the Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor movie failed to capitalise on the extended Raksha Bandhan weekend. The official Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump from 1994, Laal Singh Chaddha, made between 45 and 46 crore in five days. The Aamir Khan movie’s competition, Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, struggled at the box office and only managed to bring in an estimated 33.5 crore in five days.
Laal Singh Chaddha had high hopes for his film’s box office success. However, the film’s early box office performance has fallen short of expectations. Laal Singh Chaddha earned between 7.5 and 8.5 crore on Monday in the domestic circuit, according to trade sources who spoke to HT. As a result, the movie made between 45 and 46 crore during its extended five-day weekend.
The Raksha Bandhan holiday factor may have passed by now, according to HT sources, and the movie is anticipated to experience a sharp decline on Tuesday, the sixth day of its release. The way things are going, the business will probably be done by the weekend. The most recent box office statistics suggest that Laal Singh Chaddha won’t be able to cross the ₹ 100 crore mark at the box office, which would be a massive disappointment for Aamir Khan as this is his first film in four years.
Comparatively speaking, Laal Singh Chaddha has performed better abroad, but not nearly as well as was anticipated. Laal Singh Chaddha made a little over $ 4 million (roughly 31 crore) over its extended weekend, according to a report in Box Office India. After KGF 2 and 83, the three-day weekend of the movie ranked third best post-Covid-19 pandemic, while the four-day weekend elevated it to the top spot. But the figure was calculated by comparing four days to three days for other films.
The play Laal Singh Chaddha was written by actor-writer Atul Kulkarni and directed by Advait Chandan. It features Mona Singh in addition to Aamir and Kareena, and it is Naga Chaitanya’s Bollywood debut. The movie gained notoriety before its release when the hashtag “boycott Laal Singh Chaddha” became popular on Twitter. The boycott movement against Laal Singh Chaddha prompted reactions from Aamir, Kareena, Advait, and numerous other celebrities, which may have contributed to the film’s lacklustre box office performance.

Sonu Nigam has lent his voice to the title track of Fauji 2. It will feature 11 songs with music composed by Shreyas Puranik, Shashi Suman and Jazim Sharma.
In a much-anticipated return to Indian television, the beloved serial Fauji, which first brought Shah Rukh Khan to the forefront in 1989, is being reimagined as Fauji 2. Filmmaker Sandeep Singh has teamed up with the national broadcaster Doordarshan to breathe new life into this classic show.

Sandeep Singh expressed his excitement in a press release shared by his team, “We are bringing back one of the greatest shows ever seen on television but in a new and exciting version. The 1989 Fauji gave us Shahrukh Khan, who captivated the entire nation with his extraordinary energy and talent. With Fauji 2, I hope to recreate history and connect with every Indian, especially the youth.”
The new series introduces Bigg Boss 17 fame Vikas Jain as Colonel Sanjay Singh and actor Gauahar Khan as Lieutenant Colonel Simarjeet Kaur, a cadet trainer specializing in weaponry. Sandeep Singh is set to introduce 12 new actors to the audience, selected for their talent from various regions across India.
The cast includes Aashish Bhardwaj as Daksh Desai from Surat, Utkarsh Kohli as Rangrez Phogat from Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, Rudra Soni as Harun Malik from Srinagar, Ayaan Manchanda as Aakash Chhetri from Darjeeling, Niel Satpuda as Vijay Sachan from Kanpur.

Sandeep also elaborated on the storytelling approach, mentioning, “We spent six months brainstorming to develop a story that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Unlike the usual television narratives, Fauji 2 has a unique storytelling style.”
“It’s rich in emotion and offers a close look at the lives of army personnel, their bonds despite cultural and religious differences, and their dedication to safeguarding the country. Fauji 2 is a tale of courage and inspiration,” he added.
Navneet Kumar Sehgal, Chairman of Doordarshan, highlighted the enduring legacy of the original show, stating, “Fauji, one of our most prestigious shows, continues to rule hearts, and it just had to come back for today’s audience.” He expressed excitement for viewers to experience the valour of army officers once again.
Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Doordarshan, echoed this sentiment, noting, “When we came across the concept of Fauji 2, it took us no time to begin working on this iconic project. The show will be on-air very soon, and we are ecstatic to bring the magic of Fauji back to the Indian audience,” as per the press release shared by the Fauji 2 team.
Adding to the series’ allure, singer Sonu Nigam has lent his voice to the title track. Fauji 2 will feature 11 songs, with music composed by Filmfare Award-winning music director Shreyas Puranik, along with contributions from Shashi Suman and Jazim Sharma.
Produced by Sandeep Singh, with Vicky Jain and Zafar Mehdi as co-producers, Fauji 2 is written by a team including Amarnath Jha, Vishal Chaturvedi, Anil Choudhary, and Chaitanya Tulsyan.
The series also marks the directorial debut of Abhinav Pareek. Fauji 2 will air on Doordarshan in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Bengali, making it accessible to a wide audience. The release date of the show is yet to be announced.
