Shree Narayan Singh's directorial Batti Gul Meter Chalu had a slow start, earning Rs 6.76 crores on its opening day. However, it has gained momentum due to a rise over the weekend. The total earnings of the film, starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam, is now Rs 23.26 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced latest Batti Gul Meter Chalu Box Office Collection and wrote, “#BattiGulMeterChalu did grow over the weekend, but the jump in biz wasn't substantial enough... Biz on Day 3 was affected due to the crucial cricket match, but the trending is dull... Weekdays are crucial... Fri 6.76 cr, Sat 7.96 cr, Sun 8.54 cr. Total: ₹ 23.26 cr. India biz”.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu has been directed by Shree Narayan Singh, who also helmed Toilet Ek Prem Katha starring Akshay Kumar. Singh is more inclined to making films that deal with the everyday problems of the common man, and in an earlier interview he had revealed why he preferred to make such movies.
“I come from a small town Balrampur in UP. There is a small village near there, called Mahadev, I was born there. I have faced issues like sanitation, electricity, etc. Since I have faced real issues, I can connect with it,” Singh had told PTI.
With a lot in its favour, Batti Gul Meter Chalu was predicted to be a good box-office performer. All that remains to be seen now is if the movie manages to pick up the pace on the coming weekdays.
