Janhvi Kapoor’s Ulajh Faces Challenges: Day 2 Box Office Collections. The latest Bollywood release “Ulajh,” directed by Sudhanshu Saria and featuring Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, and Roshan Mathew, continues to face challenges at the box office. Despite its promising cast and intriguing plot, the film has not managed to draw significant audiences.
Day 2 Collections and Growth
Ulajh Day 2 Box Office: After a modest opening day collection of Rs 1.20 crore, “Ulajh” saw a slight improvement on its second day, earning Rs 1.70 crore. This represents a growth of around 40%, which, while positive, is not enough given the low starting point. The total box office collection for the first two days stands at approximately Rs 2.90 crore. Industry experts predict that the weekend total will likely be just under Rs 5 crore, which is below expectations for a film of this scale.
Comparative Performance: “Ulajh” is competing with another new release, “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,” starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu. Interestingly, “Ulajh” has shown better Saturday growth compared to its competitor, but this is not a significant achievement considering the overall low performance of both films. The audience’s lukewarm reception to both new releases this week indicates a broader trend of selective movie-watching habits, making it difficult for stars to draw crowds to theatres.
Audience Reception and Future Prospects: The audience reception for “Ulajh” has been mixed, with many viewers expressing disappointment. The film’s ability to hold its ground during the weekdays will be crucial in determining whether it can reach the Rs 10 crore mark. However, given the current trajectory and audience feedback, this seems like a challenging feat.
Plot Overview
“Ulajh” tells the story of Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor), an Indian Foreign Services (IFS) officer appointed as the Deputy High Commissioner of the High Commission of India in London. Despite her prestigious position, Suhana faces resentment from her colleagues, who believe she secured the role due to her family’s influential background. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she becomes romantically involved with Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a Michelin Star chef. As personal and professional boundaries blur, Suhana finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue and national security concerns.
