This tweet comes in the midst of reports about the film being removed from cinemas soon. On its sixth day, the film witnessed an 85 per cent drop and earned only between Rs 1.85 cr to Rs 2.15 cr, bringing the total collection to Rs 48 crore. This is the poorest that Aamir’s film has performed in over a decade. While his previous release Thugs Of Hindostan was considered one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history, it had a superb opening of Rs 53 crore, before it plummeted. However, this time round, there were several reasons contributing to the disastrous performance of Laal Singh Chaddha, including mixed reviews, and hate campaigns prior to the film’s release.
