Loveyapa Day 1 Box Office: Here’s how Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s film performed

The much-awaited romantic comedy Loveyapa hit theatres on February 7, marking the theatrical debuts of Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, and Sridevi’s daughter, Khushi Kapoor. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film serves as a Hindi adaptation of the Tamil hit Love Today (2022). However, despite the fresh pairing and a youthful storyline, Loveyapa has opened to a slow start at the box office.

On its opening day, Loveyapa managed to collect only Rs 75 lakh at the Indian box office. The film struggled to gain traction and failed to create the pre-release buzz that could have boosted ticket sales. Reports suggest that it could sell only 5,000 tickets in advance booking, a concerning figure for a theatrical debut.

For Loveyapa to pick up momentum, it will need strong word-of-mouth, especially from the younger audience. The upcoming weekend, including Saturday and Sunday, will be crucial in determining the film’s box office fate. If it fails to attract more viewers, sustaining itself in the competitive market might become difficult.

Adding to Loveyapa’s challenge is its box office clash with Badass Ravi Kumar, starring Himesh Reshammiya. While Loveyapa brings together two star kids, Badass Ravi Kumar features a popular music composer-turned-actor with a dedicated fanbase. Current trends suggest that Badass Ravi Kumar is likely to dominate over Loveyapa in the coming days.Upcoming Projects of Junaid and Khushi

Junaid Khan made his acting debut with Maharaj last year, while Khushi Kapoor entered Bollywood with The Archies in 2023. Post Loveyapa, Junaid will be seen in Ek Din with Sai Pallavi, and Khushi has Nadaaniyan with Ibrahim Ali Khan lined up.
