Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Box Office Day 2: Shanaya Kapoor's First Film Struggles, Earns Rs 43 Lakh
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan box office collection: Shanaya Kapoor's first big-screen outing Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, co-starring Vikrant Massey, is finding it difficult to connect with audiences. Despite pre-release curiosity, the romantic drama has seen a slow start at the box office.
According to trade tracking portal Sacnilk.com, the film collected an estimated Rs 43 lakh (net) on its second day. This comes after a modest opening of Rs 30 lakh on Friday. With that, the total India net collection stands at Rs 73 lakh after two days.
The film's overall response remains muted, and it has yet to touch the Rs 1 crore mark. While Saturday showed a slight bump from Day 1, the numbers are still far from promising.
Occupancy across theatres remained low. Morning shows recorded just 7.52%, followed by 15.60% in the afternoon. Evening shows saw 14.72%, and night shows performed a little better at 23.14%. The film's overall occupancy in Hindi was around 15.25%.
Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, was earlier set to make her debut with Bedhadak, but the project was shelved. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan marks her official entry into Bollywood, though its box office journey so far has been underwhelming.
News18 Showsha gave the film three stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'So, with a decent plot, sincere performances, and a soulful soundtrack by Vishal Mishra, where does Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan falter? In one word: execution. There are so many flaws that you can't overlook them all. Some dialogues had the audience chuckling, for all the wrong reasons. While there were a few hilarious, well-written scenes, the flawed execution has turned this into a half-baked cake: it looks tempting but isn't palatable."
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan tells a story centered on love, emotions, and human connection through its lead characters. The film, directed by Santosh Singh, is based on Ruskin Bond's short story The Eyes Have It. It follows the romantic journey of a visually impaired musician and a theatre artist. Produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla, the film was released on Friday.

Why did Madhuri Dixit carry a cookbook with her to the US? 'Used to wake up at 5:30 am to ...'
Synopsis Madhuri Dixit, famed for her acting and dancing, humorously recalled her early culinary mishaps after marrying Dr. Shriram Nene. In an old interview, she shared stories of disastrous attempts to cook for her husband, including an unforgettable incident with rubbery prawns. Agencies Madhuri Dixit's Life-Altering Move: From Stardom to Personal Fulfillment While she never failed to hit the bull's eye when it came to mesmerising the audience with her impeccable dancing and acting skills, 'Dhak Dhak Girl' Madhuri Dixit was at her wits' end when she tried to cook. In an old interview with Simi Garewal, the 'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun' star admitted that although she was determined to be a competent chef for her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene, after she shifted to the US post-marriage, she still whipped up some culinary disasters. She revealed how she had carried a cookbook with her to America to prevent such mishaps, but they still occurred. She revealed she was not aware that the prawns sold in the US were 'pre-made,' so she overcooked them. 'It's an Indian book that I carried with me, and I made some masala prawns for him,' she said and added, 'I kept cooking them. They were so chewy, like rubber, and he ate them. He couldn't swallow them.'She also shared a sneak peek at her domestic life with the cardiothoracic surgeon. She revealed she used to get up at 5:30 am in the morning to prepare breakfast for him. After he left, she took a nap. On October 17, 1999, Madhuri Dixit exchanged vows with Dr. Shriram Nene, a heart and lung specialist residing in Los Angeles. Their wedding was a quiet, intimate affair away from the media glare, followed by a celebratory reception held in Mumbai. At the peak of her stardom in Hindi cinema, Madhuri made the unexpected decision to put her thriving film career on pause and relocate to Colorado, choosing to embrace a new journey focused on marriage and the time they first met, Dr. Nene had little to no knowledge of Madhuri's iconic status in the Indian film industry. He wasn't acquainted with her work or the fame she carried, and he has often expressed that he always saw her as his spouse and life partner rather than a public figure. For him, her celebrity status held no weight—what mattered most was the bond they in terms of her professional engagements, Madhuri Dixit most recently appeared on screen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy film, where she starred alongside actors Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 8: Aamir Khan's Film Eyes Rs 100 Crore Club
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's "Sitaare Zameen Par" nears Rs 100 crore at the box office in its second week, earning Rs 94.95 crore. The sports comedy drama stars Khan as a former basketball coach. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par continues its strong run at the box office as it enters its second week. As it enters Day 8, the emotional drama is now inching close to the Rs 100 crore mark. Released exclusively in theatres with no OTT tie-up, the film has steadily drawn audiences throughout its first week. According to the latest report by Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par has earned Rs 94.95 crore in its first week at the box office. On Friday alone, the film brought in Rs 6.05 crore, as per early estimates. With a steady one-week total of Rs 88.9 crore earlier reported, the Aamir Khan-starrer has maintained a consistent pace. If the current trend continues, the film is expected to enter the Rs 100 crore club by the end of its second weekend in theatres across India. The film has now surpassed the lifetime India collection of Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, which had capped at Rs 92.53 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par is considered a spiritual successor to Aamir Khan's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The original film followed the moving story of Ishaan, a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary, and touched hearts across the nation with its sensitive portrayal of learning disabilities. It also featured Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma. On the other hand, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut with the film. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast with seasoned performers like Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal. The story centres on Gulshan, a former star basketball coach portrayed by Aamir Khan, who is ordered to coach a group of neurodivergent children as part of his community service following a DUI offence. What starts off as a begrudging assignment soon evolves into a life-changing experience for both him and the team. Genelia Deshmukh plays Sunita, Gulshan's supportive wife. N ews18 gave 3.5 rating to Sitaare Zameen Par. A part of our review read, 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par's Nikumbh, Gulshan isn't perfect. This is a flawed, man-child character, dealing with his own traumas, learning to navigate life with the help of those who suffer developmental delays. So far, on paper, Sitaare Zameen Par seems rather fantastic, novel, and heartfelt. And don't get us wrong — it definitely is all of that. But it also has its share of flaws that become a bump in its path to becoming a great film. To start with, at 2 hours 39 minutes, the film appears to be an extremely long and slow-moving affair."
