Laal Kaptaan Box Office Collection Day 1: Saif Ali Khan starrer FAILS to create buzz & witnesses a poor start
Saif Ali Khan’s Laal Kaptaan, which received a thumbs up for its trailer and interesting posters, has opened to mixed reviews from the audience. In fact, it also failed to leave a mark at the box office.
Saif Ali Khan’s Laal Kaptaan was certainly one of the most anticipated movies of the year. The movie had created a decent buzz courtesy of its intriguing trailer. Besides, Saif’s impressive look as a naga sadhu also garnered a lot of praise from the audience. And while the fans were excited to watch the Nawab of Pataudi in a never before seen avatar, Laal Kaptaan has failed to leave a mark at the box office. The movie, which opened to mixed reviews from the audience and critics, has witnessed a disappointing start.
As per a report published in Box Office India, this Navdeep Singh directorial has managed to rake in around Rs. 50 lakh on its first day of release. To note, the first day collections of Laal Kaptaan are even lower than Sonam Kapoor’s last release The Zoya Factor which had minted Rs. 70 lakh on its first day. Clearly, Laal Kaptaan has failed to be a crowd-puller despite winning positive views for its trailer. However, given the mixed reviews of the movie, it is expected that a positive word of mouth might do wonders for Laal Kaptaan in the coming days.

Interestingly, the Saif starrer is also facing tough competition from Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the movie had released on October 2 and has been crushing several box office records ever since. In fact, it has also emerged as the second highest-grossing movie of the year after Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh. Given this strong competition, we wonder if Laal Kaptaan will be able to survive at the box office.
