OK Jaanu Stays Low Over The Weekend, Dangal Keeps The Moolah Coming At The Box Office" Bollywood Latest News

A little over two years back when Daawat-e-Ishq had released, it had managed to have just an average weekend of 13.5 crore. Starring Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead role along with Parineeti Chopra, it was a musical romantic drama. Now in OK Jaanu, Aditya is playing a younger character which is also a lot more urban friendly. Moreover, Shraddha Kapoor is a much better established heroine and though she has a Rock On 2 behind her, she is also the one to be seen in a Superhit Baaghi less than a year back. The film has hardly seen any growth on 3rd Day (1st Sunday) with 13.80 crore coming over the weekend.

Both Daawat-e-Ishq and OK Jaanu are backed by premium production houses. Yash Raj Films made Daawat-e-Ishq while Dharma Productions (along with Mani Ratnam) has bankrolled OK Jaanu. Hence, expectations from the film were to have higher numbers than what have been eventually gathered. As a matter of fact if one compares the weekend numbers of OK Jaanu with Aditya’s own Aashiqui 2 or Shuddh Desi Romance (which again dealt with the subject of live-in relationships), this is how the film stands:

Shuddh Desi Romance – 23.5 crore

Aashiqui 2 – 18.25 crore

OK Jaanu – 13.80 crore

Daawat-e-Ishq – 13.5 crore
