Laal Singh Chaddha Box Office Estimate Day 8: DIPS again by 21% to collect Rs. 1.35 cr; most shows likely to be replaced by Do Baaraa and Karthikeya 2 today

Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha is on a downward journey ever since its release on August 11. After a horrible run on the first 7 days, the movie has seen another drop in numbers on Thursday. According to early estimates, Laal Singh Chaddha has collected in the range of Rs. 1.35 to 1.45 crores on its eight-day to take the opening week total to Rs. 50.98 crores. The movie has closed its first week with collections around Rs. 50 crores, which suggests a monumental disaster.

The lifetime collections of Laal Singh Chaddha will be under Rs. 55 crores, which means, it will end up being one of the lowest-grossing Aamir Khan films. While Laal Singh Chaddha is a winner of the clash in absolute terms of numbers, it's also the winner of the clash when it comes to clocking bigger losses. The film will end up earning around Rs. 10 crores more than Raksha Bandhan at the box office, and also clock around 4 times higher losses than the Akshay Kumar film.

The movie has been completely rejected by the audience in metros as also the mass areas. It's the worst word of mouth for an Aamir Khan film in the last 22 years, probably even worse than Mela. It's one of the biggest disasters ever and that's despite a release during the lucrative holiday period. If not for holidays, Laal Singh Chaddha would have ended under the Rs. 50 crore mark at the box office.

The film will be out of most of the cinema halls by today and the rejection is to such an extent that even Dobaara and Karthikeya 2 might have more shows than Laal Singh Chaddha in the coming weekend.
