Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! Opens 58% Below Khichdi Franchise

Bollywood’s ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!’ opened on its first day with a significant 58% drop in box office collections compared to the opening day of the TV serial franchise film ‘Khichdi’, according to industry reports. The film, starring Akshay Kumar and Tabu, faced stiff competition and audience expectations, leading to a lower-than-anticipated debut.

Reports indicate the film collected approximately Rs 12-13 crore on its opening day, a stark contrast to ‘Khichdi’s’ opening day haul of around Rs 20-22 crore. This substantial gap highlights the challenge of translating a popular TV franchise into a successful big-screen venture, despite the star power of Akshay Kumar.

Industry analysts suggest several factors contributed to the lower opening. The film’s promotional strategy, release timing, and audience reception to the trailer and songs may have played a role. Additionally, the saturation of the comedy genre and the strong performance of ‘Khichdi’ in its initial days likely impacted ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!”s footfall.

While the opening day figures are lower, the film’s long-term prospects remain uncertain. Box office analysts will be closely monitoring its performance over the next few days to gauge its overall commercial viability. The comparison with ‘Khichdi’ serves as a crucial benchmark for the film’s potential success in the competitive Bollywood landscape.
