Salman Khan produced LoveYatri, that marked the debut of Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain, failed to impress the audience as it didn’t witness any positive growth at the box office. Being a Salman Khan entertainer, LoveYatri was expected to earn big number atleast on the first weekend but after a low start on the opening day, the movie has just earned Rs 2.75 crores on the third day, making its total as Rs 6.75 crores.
Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain’s LoveYtari has tough competition from Ayushmann Khurrana starrer AndhaDhun that has received brilliant reviews from all corners. In just three days, AndhaDhun has managed to garner Rs 14.35 crores. According to a report in Box Office India, “ Loveyatri collected a poor 6.75 crore nett in its first weekend which is less than half of Andhadhun. There was some decent growth on Sunday especially in Gujarat but thats not going to make much of a difference as the weekend is too low and weekday occupancy will be very low making it tough for the film to go anywhere.”
Loveyatri, directed by debutant Abhiraj Minawala has been written by Niren Bhatt. Produced by Salman Khan Films, the movie is set in the backdrop of Gujarat and the story is about an aimless boy who falls for NRI girl. However, her ruthless father is in no mood to accept the boy of 'lower status' as his daughter's life partner. How the lovers meet and overcome the rift created between them forms an important part of the story.
Loveyatri has been slammed by critics for its poor script and performances. The lead actor Aayush Sharma is superstar Salman Khan's brother-in-law. He tied the knot with Salman's sister Arpita in 2014.
On the other hand, AndhaDhun which is a gritty and compact thriller featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, Radhika Apte among others has been directed by Sriram Raghavan. It is a story about a blind pianist who 'witnesses' a murder.
