Underwhelming Box Office Collection

Reports suggest that 'The Lady Killer' faced a disappointing reception on its opening day, collecting a mere Rs 38,000 in box office earnings. This figure has left industry experts and movie enthusiasts astounded, especially considering the film's buzz in the lead-up to its release.

Scanty Audience Turnout

Adding to the disappointment, the film managed to sell only 293 tickets across the country on its first day. With just 12 shows scheduled in major cities, 'The Lady Killer' struggled to attract the audience it had hoped for.

Unfinished Project Meets the Big Screen

An intriguing aspect of this lackluster performance is the revelation that 'The Lady Killer' was an unfinished project. However, contractual obligations with an OTT platform compelled the makers to release it in theaters before making it available on streaming services. This unusual circumstance likely contributed to the film's challenges in theaters.

Arjun Kapoor's Work Front

As for Arjun Kapoor, he is expected to make a return in Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again,' a project that holds promise for the actor following the setback of 'The Lady Killer.'

The underwhelming performance of 'The Lady Killer' at the box office has ignited discussions about the influence of promotional efforts and the changing dynamics of audience preferences. It remains to be seen if the film can turn the tide in the days to come.
