Laal Singh Chaddha Review: Aamir Khan's Film Is Watchable, Flaws Notwithstanding
Box Office India Trade Network

LAAL SINGH CHADDHA has collected around 11.50 crore nett on its first day. It is way below the expectations of the film but that is also because these expectations were not on the trailer of the film but due to the Aamir Khan factor who excels in this zone of a feel good slice of life film.

The film has done best in the Delhi NCR and East Punjab belt. The collections in Delhi city, Noida and Gurgaon are good and Punjab is also good but considering it is almost a Punjabi film then it should have been better in Punjab.  

The numbers from South are also decent but considering its an Aamir Khan film, they should have been higher. Aamir Khan is the biggest Hindi star in the South along with Shah Rukh Khan but the film has not really overperformed in the South markets.

The rest are pretty much poor outside select cinemas of Mumbai and Pune. The little collections that have come in mass pockets are due to the holiday for Raksha Bandhan and will drop out leaving the film depending on the metros. The film has collected better than '83 in mass pockets but that is due to the holiday.
