Luka
Chuppi
Vs
Sonchiriya
Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
believes
that
though
both
the
films
will
have
their
own
audience
at
the
box
office,
Kartik
Aaryan-
Kriti
Sanon's
Luka
Chuppi
will
be
the
front-runner
this
week.
Luka
Chuppi
Box
Office
Prediction
Day
1
The
romantic-comedy
will
definitely
attract
the
youth
and
college-going
crowd
and
is
expected
to
mint
Rs
6
to
8
crore
on
its
opening
day.
Some
Stiff
Competition
However,
Luka
Chuppi
might
face
some
tough
competition
from
Total
Dhamaal
and
Gully
Boy
which
is
still
running
in
the
theatres.
Sonchiriya
Box
Office
Prediction
Day
1
The
Sushant
Singh
Rajput-Bhumi
Pednekar
starrer
is
expected
to
collect
around
Rs
1.5
crore
on
Friday.
Sonchiriya
Will
Be
Backing
On
Word
Of
Mouth
Johar
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Indian
Express,
"Sonchiriya
looks
like
a
niche,
rustic
and
a
raw
film
and
is
not
a
mass-action
drama.
Though
its
trailer
was
much-talked
about,
the
awareness
level
around
the
film
is
on
the
lower
side.
Also,
it
has
no
songs.
So,
the
film
will
be
backing
on
word
of
mouth.
It
will
not
be
the
frontrunner,
but
it
can
surely
catch
up
over
the
weekend.
I
peg
the
film
somewhere
around
Rs
1.5
crore."
Sonchiriya
Has
A
Strong
Undercurrent
He
further
added,
"Sonchiriya
is
backed
by
top
talents
like
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
Bhumi
Pednekar,
Manoj
Bajpayee,
Ashutosh
Rana
and
Ranvir
Shorey,
so
it
has
a
strong
undercurrent.
The
first
preference,
for
me,
would
be
Luka
Chuppi,
but
I
am
not
ruling
out
anything
for
Sonchiriya.
It
can
grow
over
the
weekend
if
there
is
a
positive
word
of
mouth."
