Loveyapa marked the first theatrical release of Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan in Bollywood.

Trade Talk: Loveyapa Shows An Increase In Footfalls
Image
One of the reasons why the lovely puckish Loveyapa, which has shown an increase in footfalls on Day 2, opened to an underwhelming response was the ‘nepo’ label attached to its lead players. Thanks to the constant harping on the debate on legacy and undeserved privilege in the film industry, audiences have become unreasonably wary of actors from within the film industry.

But this prejudice, built and fuelled on social media, is highly unfair. Agreed, not every industry kid is a Ranbir Kapoor or an Alia Bhatt. But then, every outsider is not Sushant Singh Rajput or Kartik Aryan.

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor faced the added pressure of being compared with their iconic parents, Aamir Khan and Sridevi.

Says Loveyapa director Advait Chandan, “So yeah, Junaid and Khushi, in spite of their undeniable talent, came at a double disadvantage. It is as if they had to prove themselves far beyond the normal newcomers.

Loveyapa Box Office Day 1

Loveyapa, on the opening day, February 7, Friday, has opened at 1.25 crore at the box office. Only Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s re-release earned 1.15 crore on the opening day, only 10 lakh less than Loveyapa’s day 1 box office.

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s Loveyapa is finally out in theatres. Considering the concept and overall feel, the film should have attracted the footfalls of youth, but that seems to be not happening. Of course, it has an entire day ahead of it, but as far as advance booking is concerned, the film has failed to earn a respectable number at the Indian box office. This puts it in an uncomfortable position on day 1. Keep reading for a detailed prediction report!

Directed by the Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha fame Advait Chandan, the latest romantic comedy offers light-hearted content. The target audience for the film is Gen Z, and since the trailer and the title song grabbed some attention, it could have been a decent opener.

Loveyapa, starring newbies Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, has arrived in cinema halls, and as expected, it has gone nowhere, at least in day 1 advance booking. Though the theme of the film looks interesting, it never created the buzz it was required to do among the target audience. As a result, there was a lack of movement at ticket windows, and it sold a low number of tickets at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Both Junaid and Khushi have already made their acting debut, but it was on the small screen. The latest Bollywood romantic comedy is their big screen debut, and since they are star kids, all eyes are on the film’s performance. As far as pre-sales are concerned, the film has emerged as a non-starter and entirely dependent on word-of-mouth.

Trade Talk: Loveyapa All Set To Grow With Word of Mouth

Advait Chandan’s breezy bubbly bouncy take on love during the times of the smartphone, Loveyapa, is all set to grow steadily into a force to reckon with.

Roshan Singh, a leading distributor of Bihar, says, “So far, 2025 has been filled with action films which have all been rejected in bulk. I think the time is right for a love story, and that too breezy one. Loveyapa fills that bill.”

Says the Loveyapa director Advait Chandan, “We packaged the film as fun fiesta. But the jokes are not the loud, unruly kind of cheesy humour. The jokes land. The characters are funny but relatable. We’ve tried to keep the fun element alive till the end.”

Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha has lavish praise for Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, who will be seen together on February 7 in co-producers Madhu Mantena and Shristi Behl’s Loveyapa.

Releasing to rave reviews is director Advait Chandan‘s romance with lots of comedy, a true rom-com, Loveyapa. The film features Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan, who give terrific performances as Gucci and Bani. The director talks to Subhash K Jha about the young actors and the film, which he said in his review soars!

You have been closely associated with Junaid through his father, Aamir Khan, whom you have directed in Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha?

I’ve known Junaid for almost 20 years now. He’s always been a very grounded person. In fact, when I bought my first car after Secret Superstar, he said what a waste of money autos are so convenient.

What was it like directing him after knowing him from his childhood?

On set, he’s a complete team player. He is concerned about taking a lunch break on time so that the shooting unit doesn’t get hungry.

“Mrs – Another Remake That Doesn’t Genuflect To The Original” – A Subhash K Jha Review

Mrs

Starring Sanya Malhotra

Directed by Aarti Kadav

This seems to be the week of honourable but adventurous remakes. While Advait Chandan’s Loveyapa is that slurpy healthy fast food that doesn’t trivialize the palate of the original, Mrs, directed by debutante Aarti Kadav, cracks the adaptive code without any mishap.

Ms Kadav has Sanya Malhotra’s stout support from first to last frame, just as director Jeo Baby had Nimisha Sajan in the original Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen.

This may sound shocking to the purists. But I actually “enjoyed” Mrs more than The Great Indian Kitchen, which is not to say that the original was a lesser film. It was probably a much more accomplished work. But heck, Mrs is just so much more immersive. Part of it comes from Malhotra, who captures the horror of a newly married woman trapped in the kitchen with a seamless spontaneity.

Loveyapa

Starring: Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan

Director: Advait Chandan

Have you seen the 2022 Tamil hit Love Today? Do yourself a favour: don’t! There is a smart, wickedly funny remake Loveyapa now, which does to Love Today what Mehboob Khan’s Mother India did to Aurat.

Let me explain. While the two films are sourced to the same plot, one flies far ahead of the other.

Advait Chandan’s Loveyapa simply… soars! It is breezy and ebullient, and yet, mind it, not all fun and games. There is a very serious message underlining the festivities, the mauj-masti, and the endless bacchanalia. But the grim never overtakes the grin. What we get is a chuckle fest where the funny, smart lines flow like a particularly sassy chat group on WhatsApp, which brings it on in unstoppered merriment.

Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan is currently gearing up for his big-screen debut with Loveyapa, where he will star opposite Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. While his acting skills are evident from Maharaaj (2024), fans love him for his personality and groundedness. He stays away from loud music, and that includes his own sister’s wedding as well.

In a recent interview, Khan revealed that he wasn’t actively involved in the planning or executing of his sister Ira Khan’s wedding. Known for his introverted nature, Junaid shared that his family had low expectations regarding his participation in the celebrations, as they were well aware of his dislike for large gatherings and loud music. Despite being Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid leads a low-profile life, focusing on his pursuits.

Loveyapa: The Trailer Tickles The Phoney Bone
Image
Junaid and Khushi are up to some phoney business in Loveyapa. It’s all about swapping phones. The trailer of director Advait Chandan’s Loveyapa produced by the enterprising Madhu Mantena of Phantom Films, looks like the Valentine’s day treat that the love doctors ordered.

The film works on a devious tongue-in-cheek premise: the girl’s father (played by the ever reliable Ashutosh Rana) asks the lovebirds to swap their phones for a day.

Beware of what your phone contains! It could destroy your life. This sobering wisdom comes in handy in the phone-exchange programme. The trailer shows the couple bickering over the content of each other’s phone, some of it is unmistakably hilarious. For bicker or for worse.

When Khushi Kapoor wonders how Junaid Khan behaves so properly with her after browsing bilge on his phone, Junaid retorts, “It is Because I browse through that bilge I...

To be honest when it was announced that Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan will be paired with Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor in a film called Loveyapa, I did not have my hopes high for two reasons. One, Junaid and Khushi did not seem to go well with each other and Two, I still have glimpses of The Archies!

My views did not change when the title track arrived, and it seemed to be inspired by the song Shona Shona, which featured Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill. However, the trailer of the film arrived today and I put all my biases to rest! This is a crackling trailer promising a blast this Valentine’s season!

Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, is making headlines as he prepares to make his cinematic debut with “Maharaj,” set to release on Netflix on June 14. Following his father’s footsteps, Junaid has been dedicated to the craft of acting, having focused on theater since completing his education in dramatics in 2017.

Despite his promising background, Junaid’s journey to the big screen was not without challenges. An industry source revealed that Junaid faced seven rejections before landing his first significant role. “Junaid auditioned extensively but faced numerous rejections, including from his father’s home production ‘Laal Singh Chaddha.’ However, a producer discovered one of Junaid’s previous audition tapes and offered him an opportunity, albeit with certain conditions,” the source shared.

For his role in “Maharaj,” Junaid underwent a significant physical transformation, shedding 26 kilos over two years to fully embody his character. Filming began in February 2021 and wrapped up within eight months.

Aamir Khan is well known as a Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood as the actor gives whatever it takes to get into the skin of the character. Even his script selection has been commendable.

Why Bollywood’s Biggest Films Are Failing at the Box Office
Image
Despite the star wattage of A-listers Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar, the underwhelming box office performance of “Forrest Gump” adaptation “Laal Singh Chaddha” and “Raksha Bandhan,” respectively, have set the alarm bells ringing in Bollywood.

Both films released on Aug. 11. The date was tailor-made for “Raksha Bandhan,” a film about brother-sister relationships, as it coincided with the festival of Raksha Bandhan, which celebrates siblinghood. Headlined by Kumar, one of India’s most bankable stars, the film, which was made on a budget of approximately 9 million, has collected some 6 million in a week of release, according to industry estimates.

The numbers are starker for “Laal Singh Chaddha.” Khan headlined three of India’s all-time box office champions, including No. 1 “Dangal” (311 million); No. 6 “Secret Superstar” (154 million), by “Laal Singh Chaddha” director Advait Chandan; and No. 7 “Pk” (140 million). However, his last release, 2018’s “Thugs of Hindostan,” also underperformed.

Sunday Am Writethru after Saturday Pm Update: Sony’s Bullet Train will have a softer second weekend ease than expected at -55 with 13.4M at No 1 in a low wattage August frame that is around 66.8M for all movies. That’s the lowest grossing weekend to date this summer, the previous low being the May 20-22 frame when Downton Abbey opened to 16M and saw all movies 75.6M. Bullet Train‘s second weekend hold is a bit better than director David Leitch’s previous summer hit, Hobbs & Shaw, which was down -58.

This weekend is also +3 from the same mid August period a year ago. Again, it’s not that nobody wants to go to the movies. It’s because there isn’t a movie that’s intriguing enough which merits a trip to the cinema.

“Laal Singh Chaddha Is A Near-Perfect Film” – A Subhash K Jha Review

Laal Singh Chaddha

Starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, Mona Singh

Directed by Advait Chandan

Once in a while, in this imperfect world, we get a near-perfect film about flawed characters trying to stay on the straight and narrow path. Actor-turned-screenwriter Atul Kulkarni’s adaptation of Robert Zemeckis’ 1994 classic Forrest Gump is every bit as charming disarming, and enchanting as the original, and then some more.

Some characters, especially that of the heroine, is re-written to suit current times. But the spirit of innocence and faith remains intact. Through the naïve uncorrupted eyes of Laal Singh Chaddha, we get a world-view of history as it unfolds from the Partition to the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Each time communal/ethnic riots erupt , Laal’s mother(Mona Singh, yesterday’s Jassi, today’s Mataji) warns her son to stay indoors, “Baahar mat jaana malaria phaila hua hai.”

Forrest Gump (1994) re-releasing in 2022 in an Indianized adaptation with Aamir Khan leading the cast with Kareena Kapoor is a big deal and sets the audiences expectations sky high. The moment Aamir Khan announces a film, the audience immediately takes a note of it and eagerly awaits to experience what Aamir has to offer. It is reported that Aamir has been associated with the project for more than a decade. Aamir Khan usually does one film at a time and completely gets sucked into the character and the project. Most of his films have been critically and commercially successful barring a few.

Tom Hanks starrer Forrest Gump itself is based on a 1986 novel by the same name. Actor Atul Kulkarni has adapted the Hollywood film with an Indianized narrative. For people who have known Forrest Gump and have seen it might wonder how the narrative would turn out after a gap...
