Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2(LSD 2), despite being highly anticipated, has had a slow start at the box office, both in terms of budget and day 2 box office collection worldwide. The movie, which was released on April 19, has been met with mixed reviews. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film has faced challenges in attracting audiences, prompting the introduction of a “Buy One Get One” offer to entice viewers.
LSD 2 Box Office Collections
According to reports by Sacnilk.com, Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 collected an estimated ₹12 lakh nett in India on its second day, indicating a sluggish performance at the box office. On its first day, the film earned approximately Rs 15 lakh, with early estimates suggesting an overall Hindi occupancy of 5.48 percent. Despite this slow start, there is hope that the film will pick up over the weekend and garner a decent sum.
The overall occupancy rates for LSD2 varied across different regions. In Mumbai, with 211 shows, the occupancy was observed to be 7 percent, while in Delhi and NCR, the figure stood at 4.25 percent for 243 shows. Interestingly, in Chennai, where there were only 6 shows, the occupancy rate was notably higher at 42 percent.
Do Aur Do Pyaar vs Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2
Addressing the competitive landscape of the box office, industry experts emphasized the importance of offering unique and engaging content to attract audiences. With stiff competition from other releases like “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and “Maidaan”, films like Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 need to stand out to capture viewers’ attention. Positive word-of-mouth has been identified as crucial to sustaining the film’s performance over the weekend.
Director Dibakar Banerjee cautioned potential viewers about the film’s content, noting that it may not be suitable for younger audiences. He advised adults to exercise discretion when deciding to watch the film with their families, given its themes centered around teenagers and kids. Banerjee’s remarks underscore the film’s intention to explore sensitive and potentially controversial topics, requiring mature audiences to engage with its narrative appropriately.
As Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 navigates the competitive landscape of the Bollywood box office, its fate hangs on audience reception and critical acclaim. Alongside other releases like “Do Aur Do Pyaar”, the success of these films will be determined by their ability to captivate audiences interest.
