Kareena Kapoor's Daayra Fails to Impress at Box Office
Confirmed
In Short: Kareena Kapoor's film Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar, opened to a slow response at the box office, earning ₹90 lakh on its first day.
The film, which stars Kapoor alongside Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, faced tough competition from Kunal Kemmu's directorial debut Vibe, which collected ₹1.29 crore on its opening day.
Despite the anticipation for Daayra, the film's performance was underwhelming, marking the lowest opening for a Kareena Kapoor film.
Kareena Kapoor's recent films, including 'The Buckingham Murders' and 'Angrezi Medium,' have also struggled at the box office.
The box office performance of Daayra is particularly disappointing given Kapoor's previous success with 'Good Newwz,' which grossed ₹316 crore worldwide.
Among Hindi releases since August, only 'Awarapan 2' and 'Hanuman Ansh' have performed strongly at the box office.
The box office clash between Daayra and Vibe highlights the competitive nature of the Indian film industry, where even established stars face challenges in securing strong openings.
While Daayra's performance was disappointing, the film's future box office potential will depend on its growth over the weekend and subsequent weekdays.
What this adds
The sources have not established the exact reasons for Daayra's underwhelming performance, but it is clear that the film faces a tough road ahead at the box office.
What's confirmed
- The film clashed at the box office with his sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Daayra.
- Kareena is also competing at the box office with her brother-in-law Kunal Kemmu, whose directorial Vibe also released on Friday.
What's still developing
- Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe, his second directorial venture after Madgaon Express, has opened to a modest response at the box office.
- However, box-office performance cannot be judged from the first day alone, as weekend growth and subsequent weekdays will determine the film’s overall theatrical run.
