After the debacle of Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir Khan returned to the silver screen after four years with Laal Singh Chaddha, which released yesterday at the box office. While the expectations were sky-high from this official remake of Forrest Gump, the film has not taken a promising start as it collected around Rs 11.50 crore on its first day. Honestly, the collections are quite considering an Aamir Khan film.

In fact, Laal Singh Chaddha has recorded the lowest opening for an Aamir Khan film in the last 13 years.

Opening day collections of Aamir Khan's films:

Laal Singh Chaddha - Rs 11.50 crore*
Thugs of Hindostan - Rs 52.25 crore
Dangal - Rs 29.19 crore
PK - Rs 26.63 crore
Dhoom 3 - 33.32 crore

Since the film has garnered mixed reviews, it will be interesting to see how Laal Singh Chaddha will perform at the box office in the coming days. While the film has the advantage of an extended weekend and festive and national holidays like Independence Day, Parsi New Year and Janmashtami, it is facing strong competition from Akshay Kumar starrer Raksha Bandhan, which is doing decently well in the mass pockets.
