The Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha was released yesterday on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan across the globe. The film has seen a lukewarm opening all over the nation and has delivered the only below-par opening day numbers (initials) for any Aamir Khan film since Dil Chahta Hai (2001).Here's looking at the opening days of the last 10 Aamir Khan movies:
Laal Singh Chaddha - 11.50 cr
Thugs Of Hindostan - 50.54 cr (Record)
Dangal - 30.29 cr
PK - 26.63 cr
Dhoom 3 - 35.79 cr (Record)
Talaash - 12.78 cr
3 Idiots - 12.98 cr (Record)
Ghajini - 9.05 cr (Record)
Taare Zameen Par - 2.62 cr (Clash, 500 Screens)
Fanaa - 3.96 cr (Record).
The last time any Aamir Khan movie saw a low opening was Dil Chahta Hai in 2001, because the urban audience wasn't ready then. Also, it was a single-screen era and Aamir's Lagaan was still running to packed houses when Dil Chahta Hai hit the screens. His next movie after DCH was Mangal Pandey, which scored a bumper opening, and then Fanaa took a record-breaking opening despite the ban in Gujarat States. The next films, as above mentioned, had good to great openings, until Laal Singh Chaddha arrived.
