EXCELLENT TRENDING.
On the other hand, Salman Khan’s highly-promoted production LoveYatri has received almost positive reviews from the viewers but still took an average start. In the opening weekend, it registered the business of 6.90 crores that included 2 crores on Friday, 2.10 crores on Saturday & 2.80 crores on Sunday. Now newcomers Aayush Sharma & Warina Hussain starrer this musical romantic drama has stepped-in on weekdays and faced a considerable drop in footfalls. On Monday, LoveYatri minted the amount of 1.35 crores with a drop of 32.5% than Friday and raised 4 days total to 8.25 crores.
Since the audiences are loving the performances by Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte in the film, it is expected that these numbers will grow even more post the weekend as the word of mouth will spread. On the other hand, failure to make an impact with the story, Loveyatri might continue to show poor performance during the week as well.
