Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 Faces Box Office Decline Against Vidya's Rom-Com

Amid the bustling release schedule of April 2024, "Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2" (LSD 2) made its way to cinemas on April 19, under the direction of Dibakar Banerjee. Despite the anticipation built around this sequel to the 2010 critically acclaimed "Love Sex Aur Dhokha," starring Rajkummar Rao and Nushrratt Bharuccha, the film experienced a subdued start at the box office. Competing against Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi's latest romantic comedy "Do Aur Do Pyaar," LSD 2 has faced challenges in drawing audiences to theaters, with a noticeable decline in its box office numbers by day 6.

Under the banner of Ektaa R Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures, "Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2" delves into the complexities of love in today's internet-driven society. The film features Paritosh Tiwari, Bonit Rajpurohit, and Abhinav in leading roles, with notable cameo appearances by Mouni Roy, Tusshar Kapoor, Sophie Choudry, and Anu Malik, among others.

The opening day for "Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2" saw a modest collection of Rs 15 lakhs. Despite a slight increase over the weekend, the film's performance did not meet expectations, with a further decrease in collections reported on day 6. According to Sacnilk's latest report, LSD 2 managed to gather only Rs 5 lakhs (early estimates) on Wednesday, bringing its total estimated net collection to Rs 86 lakhs over six days.

In contrast, "Do Aur Do Pyaar," facing minimal competition, has fared better at the box office, amassing approximately Rs 3.17 crores within the same timeframe. The romantic comedy earned Rs 28 lakhs (early estimates) on Wednesday alone.

Additionally, "Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2" recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 7.30% on Wednesday, April 24.
