The re-release of Laila Majnu, starring Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri, is becoming a remarkable success story at the domestic box office. Initially released in 2018, the film struggled to find an audience during its initial run. However, its re-release has far exceeded expectations, quickly surpassing the film’s lifetime original gross in just four days.
Box Office Breakdown:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹0.25 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹0.75 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹1.00 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹0.70 crore
Total 4-Day Collection: ₹2.85 crore
Day 4 Performance:
On its first Monday (Day 4) after re-release, Laila Majnu continued its impressive run by earning ₹70 lakh, nearly tripling its opening day collection of ₹25 lakh. This strong Monday performance indicates sustained interest from audiences, pushing the film’s total gross to ₹2.85 crore in just four days. Remarkably, this figure already surpasses the ₹2.18 crore grossed during the film’s original theatrical run in 2018.
Box Office Overview:
The re-release of Laila Majnu has proven to be a massive turnaround for the romantic drama. The film opened to a modest ₹25 lakh on Friday. However, it quickly gained momentum, with collections rising to ₹75 lakh on Saturday and ₹1 crore on Sunday. By Monday, the film had not only passed the Monday test but had also exceeded expectations by outperforming its opening day collection, a clear sign of solid word-of-mouth and renewed interest.
Comparison to Original Run:
Laila Majnu’s re-release gained a cult following, especially on platforms like ZEE5. It’s expected to surpass its original earnings of ₹3.20 crore within five days, outperforming other re-released films like Rockstar, which earned over ₹10 crore in India. While Laila Majnu is trending well, its long-term box office potential might be challenged by the upcoming releases of highly anticipated films like Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein, and Vedaa on August 15.
Final Word
Laila Majnu’s re-release has unexpectedly become a box office hit, surpassing its original earnings in just four days. This resurgence underscores the film’s strong emotional connection with audiences, establishing it as a cult classic.
