Daawat-e-Ishq and Khoobsurat Box Office Opening

Yash Raj Films’ Daawat-e-Ishq and Disney’s Khoobsurat have opened extremely poorly at the box office on Friday. Daawat-e-Ishq, which has released on higher number of screens, has taken a better start in select few centres – the response at muslim dominated centres has been fair.

Khoobsurat has taken an excellent opening in Pakistan, but back in India the film was poor in the morning with average all-India occupancy of around 10-15%. Noon shows have picked up, but business is still pretty poor on the limited screens (mostly multiplexes) that the film is running on.

Both films were expected to open poorly. The promotional campaign (food yatra etc) of Daawat-e-ishq didn’t work, the music received a lukewarm response. Khoobsurat was always going to rely on word-of-mouth publicity.

Saturday and Sunday will decide the fate of Daawat-e-Ishq and Khoobsurat at the box office. The reports from theatres that we checked aren’t too promising for both films, so it remains to be seen how the two films fare in the next few days.

  • Daawat-e-ishq was a sure shot flop from the trailer itself…

    Khoobsurat might get average verdict,but people are saving money for bang bang!!!

  • So after delivering 8 back to bck successful films youngistaan has delivered 2 back to back flops.I m really happy with the way youngistaan is going and v will surely learn from our mistake in last 2 films

  • @arjun kapur 8 back to back hits ?? If u consider above average like htp,mth as hits, then aksar,dil diya hai, the killer ,kaliyug are also hits.

  • @element its not me but every media house and smart headed indian who hv termed them success.but obviously idiots like u cnt b xpctd to understand all these things

  • @babaji

    Forget about others for one moment as we all know you yourself saved your money by not watching your former numero uno star Akkis last crapgiri movie in order to save it for your new icon Hritiks next Bong Bong….!

  • @navin uncle:its my choice which film i want to watch and which to skip..i had watched 2 films just a week ago Entertainment and had to watch Singham Returns a week after..so whats the big problem if i skipped Entertainment..
    Have u watched lallu’s all films in theatres like marigold,veer,mrs khanna,yuvvraj,saawan etc..
    So keep you advice to yourself you uncle!!!

  • 3.75 Crore (Trade Figure)4.75 Crore (Producer Figure)First day of Daawat-E-Ishq was outside of top 20 opening days of 2014. hope it will do better.

  • Was expected to happen since ARK doesn’t drink alcohol in the movie… The film makers have learnt their lesson now.. If its ARK… He has to be drunk n the movie willl earn 100cr…Moreover i am sure people are fed up of Parineeti repeating her same roles of being hyper in every movie.. Needs to try something new………

    as for Khoobsurat, it was focussed towards the female population only and Sonam isn’t a successful actress as yet, so as mentiondd onli WOM would help..

  • IT IS A VERY NICE FILM.. I SAW IT TODAY WITh MY NIECE N IT JUST BRINGS A SMILE ON YR FACE N THE MOVIES FINISHED N WE DIDNT FEEL THE 2 HOURS PASSED. I LOVED ADITYA ROY IN THIS ROLE.. PARNITY WAS GOOD AS USUAL.. THE SONGS R VERY NICE.. PPL DONT MISS THE FILM
    ENJOY WATCHING IT
