The box office total of Aditya Chopra's film
Befikre dipped even lower on the sixth day, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Befike, starring Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor, released last Friday and had collected Rs 46.24 crore till yesterday.
The film's earnings peaked on Sunday and has seen a steady drop in business since. Taran Adarsh places the day-wise totals of
Befikre at: Rs 10.36 crores on Friday, Rs 11.60 crore on Saturday, Rs 12.47 crore on Sunday, Rs 5.20 crore on Monday, Rs 3.59 crore on Tuesday and Rs 3.02 crore on Wednesday.
Befikre, Aditya Chopra's fourth film, is set in Paris and marks a significant departure from his early movies like
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Taran Adarsh tweeted a summary of
Befikre's business so far:
Befikre tells the story of Dharam and Shyra, played by Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor, who meet in Paris and embark on a 'no strings attached' relationship, quite unlike the love stories that Mr Chopra told in films like
DDLJ and
Mohabbatein. The film opened to generally poor reviews.
The film contains a risque scene of Ranveer Singh stripping down and while the
Censor Board reportedly passed a shot of the actor's posterior, it cut kissing scenes featuring gay couples. "Yes, we have removed the gay kiss from the first song in
Befikre. The whole song is about various couples of different ages kissing all over Paris. We felt the gay kiss would not be acceptable to all the viewers," Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani told
The Quint.
Befikre is Aditya Chopra's first film without actor Shah Rukh Khan. Ranveer Singh is now working on director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
Padmavati with Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Vaani Kapoor has not announced her next project yet.
