Janhvi Kapoor’s latest film, Ulajh, directed by the National Award-winning Sudhanshu Saria, has stumbled at the box office. Despite its star-studded cast and initial buzz, the spy thriller has struggled to make a significant impact.
The film, which also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang, and Meiyan Chang, had high hopes but fell short of expectations.
Ulajh Collections Kept Declining In Weekdays, Earns Rs 8.31 Cr In One Week
Released alongside Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ulajh opened with a very low Rs 1.37 crore. This figure marked the second-lowest opening for Kapoor, trailing only behind her previous film, Mili. The film’s lacklustre start was exacerbated by mixed reviews, which dampened audience enthusiasm.
Over its opening weekend, Ulajh managed to generate some buzz. It raked in over Rs 6.75 crore, showing signs of recovery despite a slow start. However, the weekdays proved challenging. The film’s daily collections dwindled, adding Rs 1.56 crore to its total. By the end of its first week, Ulajh had accumulated Rs 8.31 crore at the Indian box office.
Ulajh India Box Office Collection
| Day | Collection Rs cr (nett) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Fri) | Rs 1.37 crore |
| Day 2 (Sat) | Rs 2.22 crore |
| Day 3 (Sun) | Rs 2.42 crore |
| Day 4 (Mon) | Rs 0.75 crore |
| Day 5 (Tue) | Rs 0.6 crore |
| Day 6 (Wed) | Rs 0.5 crore |
| Day 7 (Thurs) | Rs 0.45 crore |
| Total | Rs 8.31 crore |
In comparison, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey, also struggled but performed slightly better. The competition between the two films has been tight, with Ulajh narrowly trailing its rival on some days. Both films are expected to face a tough run ahead, with Ulajh potentially finishing its theatrical run with a total between Rs 10 crore and Rs 14 crore.
With no major releases scheduled for this weekend, both Ulajh and Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha will continue to run in theatres until August 15. While Ulajh is anticipated to surpass Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha by the end of its run, neither film is likely to achieve blockbuster status.
About The Film
The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as Suhana Bhatia, a young IFS officer with a legacy of patriots in her family. She finds herself caught in a perilous personal conspiracy far from home. Alongside Kapoor, the film features Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, and Adil Hussain.
To sum it up, Ulajh has struggled to capture the audience’s interest. The film’s announcement in May 2023 generated some buzz, but the lacklustre reception suggests that it may not achieve the success hoped for.
