Weak Opening for Shanaya Kapoor’s Debut Film
Shanaya Kapoor, niece of superstar Sanjay Kapoor, recently made her debut in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. However, the film garnered a disappointing ₹35 lakh collection on its opening day, pointing to weak audience interest and limited advance bookings for this Bollywood newcomer.
Despite marketing efforts and promotions, the film failed to draw enough viewers to theatres. Critics have described the narrative as underwhelming, while the brand’s absence and a crowded weekend of major releases further hampered its initial box office performance.
Why the Opening Fell Short
Several factors may explain the film’s poor start:
-
Low brand awareness: Shanaya Kapoor hasn’t yet built a strong public fan base.
-
Competing releases: Other high-profile films released during the same period diverted attention away.
-
Limited screen count: The film opened in fewer cinemas, reducing its earning potential.
-
Mixed reviews: Early feedback suggested the storytelling and performances failed to resonate.
Next Few Days Will Be Crucial
Following a low ₹35 lakh opening, the film’s weekday retention will determine whether it gains momentum or fizzles out entirely. Typically, strong word-of-mouth can boost collections, but early indicators suggest a challenging run ahead.
Producers may need to deploy aggressive publicity, audience engagement tactics, or promotional discounts to attract viewers and stabilize its earnings.
