Loveyapa, the Hindi remake of the 2022 Tamil hit Love Today, is slowly making its mark at the box office. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film stars Junaid Khan, making his debut, and Khushi Kapoor. The movie opened in theaters this past Friday and has shown steady performance over its first two days, despite facing strong competition.
Box Office Collection So Far
On its opening day, Loveyapa grossed Rs.1.15 crore net in India. By day two, the film saw a slight increase, collecting Rs.1.16 crore net, bringing its total to around Rs.2.31 crore net in India. The film’s early numbers show moderate growth, with a 6.09% occupancy rate in morning shows and 14.09% in the afternoon. These figures suggest the film is holding steady, but it still has a long way to go to achieve strong box office success.
Competition from Other Films
Despite its steady performance, Loveyapa is facing stiff competition from other releases. One of the main competitors is Badass Ravikumar, starring Himesh Reshammiya, which earned Rs.2.75 crore net on its opening day. On its second day, Badass Ravikumar collected Rs.1.99 crore, bringing its total to Rs.4.74 crore. This competition could impact Loveyapa’s ability to maintain strong collections over the weekend.
Aamir Khan’s Support for Junaid Khan
Aamir Khan has been vocal about his son Junaid Khan’s debut, actively promoting Loveyapa. He expressed his admiration for the film and compared Khushi Kapoor’s performance to that of her late mother, the legendary Sridevi. Khan shared that he felt an undeniable resemblance in Khushi’s energy to Sridevi’s. He praised the film for being entertaining and relevant, especially in how it reflects modern life shaped by cellphones. Aamir also commended the entire cast for their performances, adding that he is a big fan of Sridevi, which further highlights his appreciation for Khushi’s work.
Star-Studded Premiere and Family Support
The premiere of Loveyapa in Mumbai saw an impressive turnout of Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, and Rekha, among others. Junaid’s sister, Ira Khan, also supported the film, sharing her excitement on social media. She wrote, “Junnu on the big screen!! If you knew Junaid personally, you’d realize just how good of an actor he is playing this role! The whole cast has done a great job.”
What’s Next for Loveyapa?
As Loveyapa continues its run at the box office, it will need to maintain its momentum over the weekend and continue to attract audiences despite the competition. The film’s performance in the coming days will determine whether it can sustain its steady growth and become a box office success.
For now, Loveyapa has made a promising start with a total of Rs.2.31 crore net on second day, and all eyes will be on its performance as the weekend progresses.
