Aiyaari box office collection day 1: In 2017, Sidharth Malhotra featured in two films, The Gentleman and Ittefaq. Though the former went unnoticed, the latter did a modest box office business. With Aiyaari, Sidharth Malhotra was looking forward to a grand start this year but unfortunately, the film failed to take off with the expected momentum. Aiyaari has received ‘disappointing’ review from the critics and in spite of powerpack performance from the versatile Manoj Vajpayee, the film sunk owing to its disappointing screenplay and various other aspects. The film which was formerly scheduled for February 9 release in order to avoid box office clash with Akshay Kumar’s PadMan had shifted its release date to 16 February, but that doesn’t seem to have benefitted the film either.
In spite of being a Neeraj Pandey film who had directed movies like MS Dhoni, Aiyaari was a little disappointing. According to a former prediction by Bollywood Hungama, the film was supposed to make anything between Rs 6-7 cr. on day 1. Inspite of being in news, the delay can be attributed to one of the main reason why the film could not manage to have a remarkable start. The film opened at an occupancy rate of 20-25% during the morning shows according to Bollywood Hungama. But at the end of the day, Aiyaari’s fate will be decided by the audience and word of mouth verdict is going to play an important role since the reviews are considerably on the negative side.
