Advance Booking and Initial Buzz
With advance bookings open, ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ didn’t see much of a great response from cinegoers, particularly in Delhi-NCR and East Punjab. While the film has generated a decent pre-release buzz due to its star-studded cast and quirky storyline, it remains to be seen how well it translates into footfalls at the theatres. The film has entered the box office race against ‘Chhaava’, starring Vicky Kaushal, which has already dominated the market with an impressive collection of more than Rs. 200 crores in its opening weekend.
First-Day Box Office Projections
Trade analysts predict that ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ could open in the range of Rs 1 crore to Rs 2 crore on its first day. The film’s success will largely depend on strong word of mouth, as romantic comedies often pick up momentum over the weekend if they connect with the audience.
Critical Reviews and Public Reactions
Early reviews for ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ have started pouring in, with critics highlighting the film’s humor, performances, and engaging screenplay. Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh’s chemistry, paired with Arjun Kapoor’s comic timing, has been noted as a highlight. However, some critics feel that the film follows a predictable template and will need strong performances to keep the audience entertained.
Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with first reactions. Some viewers have praised the film’s fresh take on modern relationships, while others have compared it to Mudassar Aziz’s previous works. Since his last directorial, ‘Khel Khel Mein’, failed to impress at the box office, all eyes are on ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ to see if Aziz can bounce back with a hit.
Competition with ‘Chhaava’
One of the biggest challenges for ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ will be competing against ‘Chhaava’, which is still running strong in theatres. Given the contrasting genres—’Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ being a lighthearted comedy and ‘Chhaava’ being an intense historical drama—the audience’s preference will play a crucial role in determining the film’s box office fate.
Will the Film Shine?
With a fun premise, an ensemble cast, and a director known for quirky rom-coms, ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ has the ingredients to be a crowd-pleaser. However, its performance will depend on how well it resonates with audiences in its opening weekend. Stay tuned as we bring you more updates on box office collections, audience reactions, and whether this rom-com will emerge as a surprise hit!
