Both Khoobsurat and Daawat-e-Ishq have opened very poorly at the box office. While the Disney film collected Rs 2.74 cr on its opening day, the Yash Raj Films’ release did business of just 3.75 cr on Day 1.
Daawat-e-Ishq had a significantly higher screen release, but the occupancy was low throughout the day. The film has fared better in muslim dominated areas, but the overall business was way below the mark. In fact, a smaller film (star cast wise) like Mardaani took a similar opening, but showed good growth in business because of positive word-of-mouth publicity. Daawat-e-Ishq on the other hand is carrying mixed to negative reports and the film hasn’t shown any big growth on Saturday.
Khoobsurat also opened poorly, but picked up towards the end of the day at highend multiplexes. The film is carrying better reports than Daawat-e-Ishq, and business has also picked up on Saturday.
With a start as poor as this, anything less than 50-60% hike in business on both Saturday and Sunday wouldn’t be good enough. Both films will find it difficult to recover costs.
Disappointed with dawaat but aaditya will dfntly bounce back big time with fitoor starring kat,rekha and directed by abhisek of rock on,kai po che fame
Youngistaan are strong enough to give competitions to top six actors in Bollywood. I started to hate youngistaan because of a certain irritating duffer. Of the youngistaan, Ranveer and Arjun are the worst.
All the best, Sonu. Now, your dad will be happy. Parineeti should quit acting and get married to krk.
Aditya Kapoor should do some serious and intense films if he wants hits.
According to me both movies will be flops . I am waiting for Bang Bang .
Khubsurat songs did the trick. Dawat e ishq promotion was tremendous but music fell flat. Another reason maybe is that yrf has overdone rom-com genre. Dharma banner is also a rom-com banner.
Story of such dharma/yrf films :-
1) boy sees a girl
2) girl doesn’t like the boy
3) boy invites girl for party
4) party/disco song
5) some lame jokes
6) girl starts liking boy
7) romantic track
8)kissing scene
9) some serious scenes
10) girl weds boy
11) punjabi wedding song / dance no.

Now waiting for arjun kapur comment to bash me and emraan bcoz he won’t like this comment bcoz it is a fact n truth.
glad to heard that Khoobsurat is carrying a possitive WOM…..today and tomorrow will be crucial for the film.
Both Flops…
Strange, the so called big banner yrf film opening with 3.75crs with pari and ark…
@emraan u r completely correct.story of every yrfabd dharma film is same.but wat is ur emmy doing in a dharma film?#ungli
Don’t know why ARK is preferring to work as a 2nd lead…
At first he gave 3 flops with superstars
Action Replay with Akki:flop
London Dreams with Salman-Ajay:flop
Guzaarish with HR:flop
In aashiqui 2,he was 2nd lead to Shraddha,in DAE 2nd lead to Pari and in upcoming Fitoor,2nd lead to Kat…
i kinda liked khoobsoorat sad yar it was better than daawaat i feel
@ indicine plz mention that u r giving trade figure now days cuz producer figure for d e i is 4.5 crore and 3 crore for khoobsurat.
Never expected anything from both these films as far as opening is concerned.. waiting for bang bang and happy new year to shatter some serious records..
I don’t see big jump to be fair with 2-3 big films lined to release next month.
Its bound to happen,as Khoobsurat was backed with heroine oriented Zoner with non popular starcast, while DEK same ROM COM, I have seen here many saying DEK music backfire while I think music isn’t bad at all. Mannat song is superb and popular too on TV channels.And when two big films coming on next month,festive season going to start, so pre diwali season is bound to start no film can create big moolah in these condition.
All eyes on Oct, fight between class vs action vs masala.My bet Bang-2 180-200cr due to clash with mixed to good wom.Haider 60-70 cr higher or lower depend on bang-2 wom more than its own wom.
Hny 130cr in 4 day weekend lilifetime 220-240 cr.
Waiting for mr..Bulli comments..plz say sonething abaut Srk plzzzzz
Same in the case of CDI with nothing in its favour but doing extraordinary due to strong WOM.
both films are serious flop as nothig new in thm…only parinita aditya and fawad shine…films will crash today s by my prediction
am really surprised as Dawat e Ishq was promoted well, the music is very nice, and it’s with 2 good actors, with YRF banner, then why it started “poor” at the box office?!!!! that’s really strange?!! I never expected Khubsurat as a good film because I didn’t like the trailer at all, even if it’s Disney’s production as the actor doesn’t have any charisma on screen.. but DeI is Aditya Roy Kapoor’s after his super hit Aashiqui2 and in a very good role!!
Therefore I never bothered about reviews or whatever ppl would say.. saw the trailer, went for it yesterday, and found it a good interesting film ( I think some ppl need better “ears” to know the difference between good and bad musics!!) over the years, some bad songs won as best songs, but they were NOT!!
want khubsurat to b a hit.. coz i liked the trailer very much.
@kapoor ungli is not rom-com. Kjo said it was not in his comfort zone like his rom coms. It is risky project as was said by kjo.
from trailer. and song haider 30 cr lifetime verdict disaster
bang bang 310 cr lifetime verdict atbb
khoobsoorat is a beautiful film
I feel parineeti is overrated actress just like so am and Alia.due to which ARK suffered,khoobsurat may be failure due to pakistani actor.
I think, both khubsurat and dawar e ishq will make profit for the producer. Both are very low budgeted film, if make 10-15 cr. DS, it will cover the budget. Rest sattelite, dvd, music will add profit to it.
all my film members saw Dawate Ishq last night n they all enjoyed watching it.. I just don’t get it?!!! are the reviewers the main reason for disencouraging ppl to see any good film?!!!!!
my prediction has come true..and there is nothing to enjoy about these films…flop is the right verdict
