Laapataa Ladies needs to score a Monday higher than Friday to be in the race of scoring respectable numbers in the long run at the box office in India. Detailed Report
The Kiran Rao-directed social comedy, Laapataa Ladies has scored below average numbers in its opening weekends as the estimates indicate a 3-day total of Rs 3.80 crore.

Laapata Ladies does well in National Multiplex Chains
The opening weekend condition would have been a lot better had the film genuinely pushed itself towards the Rs 1.25 crore mark on the opening day and then followed the same trajectory as it did now. The collections of Laapataa Ladies are driven by PVRInox and Cinepolis, especially the former, which is also the distributor of the film. The reports are positive but that needs to reflect in the trend.
Laapataa Ladies doesn't have any sort of star-value and whatever the film is doing is purely basis the name of Aamir Khan padded with appreciation for content. The fate of Laapata Ladies will boil down to the crucial Monday test as it’s a must for this social comedy to be above the first day to retain reasonable showcasing in the forthcoming weeks.
The target for Laapataa Ladies will be to do a respectful lifetime business in the range of Rs 15.00 to 20.00 crore in India and it’s Monday that will tell us how far the film can go.
