Vibe Box Office Collection: Kunal Kemmu's Film Opens Better Than Kareena Kapoor Khan-Starrer Daayra, Collects ₹1.50 Crore
Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe, his second directorial venture after Madgaon Express, has opened to a modest response at the box office. The comedy, which is produced, written, directed and headlined by Kemmu, also features Sparsh Shrivastava, Preity Zinta, Vanshika Dhir, Yashpal Sharma and Dinesh Lal Yadav in key roles. Despite its unusual premise and comic approach, Vibe has received a mixed response from…
Daayra, starring Kaakena Kapoor, made its box office debut with a meager collection of Rs 90 lakh on its opening day, marking the lowest opening for a film featuring the actress. According to Sacnilk, the movie was screened in 2,283 theaters, achieving an occupancy rate of 12%. In the same day, her brother-in-law's film Vibe grossed Rs 1.5 crore from 3,194 showings. Both films were released with an A certificate.
Currently, the only film performing well at the box office is Hanuman Ansh, while last week's Haiwaan, starring Kaakena's husband Saif Ali Khan, has lost nearly 90% of its screenings. Kaakena's last successful film was Crew, released in 2024, while her previous films, The Buckingham Murders and Angrezi Medium, failed to make a significant impact at the box office, earning around Rs 15 crore and Rs 4.8 crore respectively during their theatrical runs.
Kareena Kapoor's highest-grossing film is Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), which earned Rs 922.17 crore worldwide, thanks to Salman Khan's performance. Since then, only two Hindi releases - Awarapan 2 and Hanuman Ansh - have shown strong box office performances. Other recent Hindi films like Batwara 1947, Toxic, and Haiwaan have struggled to sustain their presence at the box office.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, who starred alongside Kaakena in Daayra, has had a challenging time establishing himself in Hindi cinema, with his Hindi films Aiyyaa, Aurangzeb, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and now Daayra underperforming at the box office.
