According to Boxofficeindia.com, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ collected Rs 50 lacs on Monday. It looks a little difficult for it to reach the Rs 60 crore mark. The Aamir starrer managed to collect Rs 6.25 crore in the second week. Despite an extended weekend and long holidays, the film couldn’t attract cinema lovers. The collections of ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ to date are as follows:
Week One – 50,35,00,000 apprx
Friday – 1,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 1,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 1,90,00,000 apprx
Monday – 50,00,000 apprx
Second Week – 5,15,00,000 apprx (4 days)
TOTAL – 55,50,00,000 apprx
Meanwhile, a PIL has been filed at the Calcutta High Court by BJP leader and lawyer Nazia Ilahi Khan. According to the plea, the movie defames the Indian Army and hence the lawyer has sought a ban of the film claiming it is ‘likely to cause breach of peace’. She has also reportedly stated that showcasing the film in theatres may compromise the law and order situation in the state and that security should be posted outside theatres.
The film also starred Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. The official remake of ‘Forrest Gump’ starring Tom Hanks is directed by Advait Chandan.
