The new releases, “Do Aur Do Pyaar” and “Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2”, faced a dismal opening at the box office, with low morning show occupancies reported across India. Directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta, “Do Aur Do Pyaar” boasts a star-studded cast including Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. While the film received positive reviews from critics, it failed to attract audiences during the morning and afternoon screenings.
Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 BO Collections
Dibakar Banerjee-directorial ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2’ earned around Rs 15 lakh on its first day at the box office in India. On Friday, the early estimates suggest that the film witnessed an overall Hindi occupancy of 5.48 per cent. It is, however, expected to earn a decent sum over the weekend.
On the other hand, “LSD 2: Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2” marks the return of director Dibakar Banerjee with the second installment of the franchise, a decade after the release of the original “Love Sex Aur Dhokha”. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film features Urfi Javed and Swastika Mukherjee in prominent roles, with cameo appearances from Mouni Roy, Tusshar Kapoor, and Anu Malik. Despite generating significant buzz prior to its release, driven by the franchise’s reputation and intriguing posters, the film’s box office performance remains uncertain.
