Laal Singh Chaddha is probably the biggest Hindi release of the year. It marks the return of Aamir Khan to big screens after a long gap of four years. Aamir is known to deliver some of the biggest blockbusters of Bollywood like Dangal, PK, 3 Idiots, and more. There were huge expectations from Laal Singh Chaddha. But the boycott gang on social media and negativity around Bollywood movies have hugely affected its box office prospects. Laal Singh Chaddha is releasing tomorrow. If we talk about the advance booking report and opening day box office prediction of Laal Singh Chaddha, things are not looking good.
Till Wednesday afternoon, Laal Singh Chaddha has sold around 35,000 tickets in the national chains for the opening day.
#LaalSinghChaddha has sold approx. 27,500 tickets at the national chains for the opening day at the end of Tuesday. The spot bookings will determine 1st day business

The advance booking is now going in full swing and one can expect the final numbers to be in the same range as Jug Jugg Jeeyo i.e. 55K to 60K.
Aamir Khan is the pioneer of Bollywood’s 100 Crore, 200 Crore, and 300 Crore clubs. The pre-release hype and buzz around his movies used to be big. However, this time around the buzz is low. Despite being an event film, Laal Singh Chaddha has failed to grab the attention of the cinephiles.
There has been a lot of negativity around the movie and its lead actor Aamir Khan. The movie has been on target on social media. #BotcottLaalSinghChaddha has been trending for almost a week. You may argue but this trend has certainly affected the advances.
Laal Singh Chaddha Opening Day Box Office Prediction
The advances for Laal Singh Chaddha are way below expectations and if we go by them then the opening day numbers would be in the range of Rs 9 to 11 Crore. However, it’s a Rakshbandhan holiday across the country and one would expect good on-spot bookings, especially in mass centers. So, the opening day numbers of Laal Singh Chaddha heavily depend on spot booking. I am expecting the Aamir Khan starrer to earn around 14 Crore on Day 1 (Thursday).
Laal Singh Chaddha will be among the highest opening day Bollywood grossers of 2022. It remained to be seen if it beats the first-day collection of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 14.11 Crore). Here are the top 5 opening day grossers of 2022:
1- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 14.11 Cr)
2- Bachchan Paandey (Rs 13.2 Cr)
3- Samrat Prithviraj (Rs 10.70 Cr)
4- Gangubai Kathiawadi (Rs 10.50 Cr)
5- Shamshera (Rs 10.25 Cr)
Laal Singh Chaddha Box Office Prediction: Lifetime
It remains to be seen how this boycott trend and negatively impact the box office numbers. If the content comes out good and family-friendly then like Aamir Khan’s previous movies Laal Singh Chaddha would emerge as a big blockbuster at the box office.
