Do Aur Do Pyaar Faces Major Box Office Drop On Monday, Crosses Rs 2.5 Crores

The romantic comedy "Do Aur Do Pyaar," featuring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D'Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, experienced a significant drop in box office collections on its first Monday. Despite opening to positive reviews from both audiences and critics after its release on April 19, the film struggled to draw crowds initially. However, it saw a slight improvement over the weekend before facing a downturn in attendance and earnings at the start of the week.

The film's performance over the weekend showed promise with a decent increase in collections but failed to maintain this momentum into Monday. Initial figures showed an opening day collection of Rs 55 lakhs, with the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) bringing in an additional Rs 1.80 crores. However, Monday saw a steep fall, with early estimates indicating only about Rs 25 lakhs in earnings. This brought the total estimated four-day net collection to approximately Rs 2.6 crores.

Occupancy rates for "Do Aur Do Pyaar" also reflected this decline. The movie had an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 9.20% on Monday, April 22, with specific showtimes throughout the day experiencing varying levels of attendance. Morning shows saw a 6.31% occupancy rate, which slightly increased during afternoon shows to 9.47%, before fluctuating in the evening and night shows with occupancy rates of 9.03% and 11.99%, respectively.

The day-wise breakdown of box office collections for "Do Aur Do Pyaar" is as follows:

• Day 1 (Friday) - ₹55 lakhs
• Day 2 (Saturday) - ₹85 lakhs
• Day 3 (Sunday) - ₹95 lakhs
• Day 4 (Monday) - ₹25 lakhs (early estimates)
• Total - ₹2.6 CRORES
