Director Laxman Utekar’s Luka Chuppi showed significant growth at the box office on Sunday as it collected Rs13 crore. On Monday, despite it being a public holiday on account of Mahashivratri, the film saw a drop in numbers as it made Rs7.65 crore, as per figures shared by Boxofficeindia.com.

Luka Chuppi’s grand total stands at a good Rs38.90 crore currently.

Luka Chuppi review: Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon hold their own in a fairly entertaining comedy

The film, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, however, is already in the safe zone because of its moderate cost of production. According to trade sources, the film is made at a budget of around Rs25 crore and was released on 2,500 screens.

The film is expected to finish the first week at Rs50 crore. It looks like Aaryan is set to deliver another hit after last year’s surprise blockbuster Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.

Abhishek Chaubey’s Sonchiriya took a further fall on Monday. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar, the film collected only Rs80 lakh, which is Rs20 lakh less than its opening day collection [Rs1 crore].

The film has mostly received positive reviews, but the niche content seems to be affecting its viability. According to trade sources, Sonchiriya is made at a cost of Rs25-30 crore and was released on 700 screens in India. Its total earnings stand at Rs4.30 crore currently.
