'Chhichhore'
starring
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
and
Shraddha
Kapoor
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
September
6,
2019.
The
film
received
glowing
reviews
from
the
critics
and
struck
a
right
chord
with
the
audience
as
well.
On
its
first
day
of
release,
'Chhichhore'
began
on
a
slow
note.
But
with
positive
word-of-mouth,
the
film
picked
up
business
in
the
evening
shows
which
resulted
in
the
film
collecting
Rs.
7.32
crore
on
its
opening
day.
Speaking
about
the
second-day
box
office
collections,
the
Sushant-Shraddha
starrer
minted
Rs.
12.25
crore
on
Saturday.
The
total
two-day
box
office
collections
now
stand
at
Rs.
19.57
crore.

Speaking
about
the
movie,
director
Nitesh
Tiwari
told
Quint,
" This
was
the
closest
to
my
heart
at
the
time,
and
I
have
always
followed
my
heart.
Having
spent
four
lovely
years
at
IIT-Bombay's
hostel,
I
had
many
experiences
to
draw
upon.
What
I
needed
was
a
reason
to
look
back
on
those
memories
for
a
meaningful
purpose.
Once
that
was
cracked
by
our
writers.
The
rest
flowed."
The
filmmaker
also
opened
up
about
box-office
numbers
in
an
interview
where
he
was
quoted
as
saying,
"As
far
as
the
box-office
is
concerned,
we
didn't
know
Dangal
would
become
such
a
huge
success.
We
made
Dangal
purely
for
the
love
of
the
story.
We
felt
that
the
story
needed
to
be
told.
We
never
kept
the
box-office
result
in
mind,
so
there
was
never
pressure
when
we
made
Dangal.
However,
after
the
success
of
Dangal,
the
only
pressure
I
would
take
would
not
be
the
box-office
pressure.
That
would
be
unreal
to
have...
to
take
that
pressure.
You
can't
say
'My
film
is
going
to
perform
so
much
at
the
box-office'.
The
only
pressure
and
it
is
only
human
for
me
to
feel
that
way
is,
I
want
to
live
up
to
the
expectations
of
people.
Whatever
expectations
they
may
have
of
me
after
Dangal.
I
hope
I
will
be
successful
in
exceeding
their
expectations."
