Aamir
Khan's
much
anticipated
film
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
the
occasion
of
Raksha
Bandhan
(August
11).
Sadly,
the
film
failed
to
meet
the
expectations
of
the
cinegoers
and
opened
on
a
dull
note.
The
Aamir
Khan-starrer
minted
an
opening
collection
of
Rs
12
Crore
which
was
lesser
than
the
opening
collection
of
the
superstar's
2018
film
Thugs
Of
Hindostan.
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
showed
a
slight
growth
in
its
business
on
Friday
and
Saturday
and
went
on
to
collect
Rs
7.26
Crore
and
Rs
9
Crore
taking
the
three-day
box
office
collection
to
Rs
27.96
Crore.
When
it
comes
to
its
performance
on
Day
4
(Sunday),
early
estimates
hint
that
the
movie
witnessed
a
little
upward
trend
in
its
business
and
collected
in
the
range
of
Rs
8-10
Crore.
Aamir
Khan's
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
is
an
official
remake
of
Tom
Hanks'
Academy
Award-winning
film
Forrest
Gump.
While
the
original
film
had
Tom
Hanks'
character
Forrest
recounting
his
life
journey
to
strangers
on
a
park
bench,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
has
Aamir's
character
telling
his
story
to
fellow
passengers
on
a
train.
Speaking
about
the
change
in
this
narrative
device,
Aamir
told
BBC
in
an
interview,
"In
India,
it's
a
little
difficult
to
sit
on
a
park
bench
and
have
a
conversation,
it's
rather
noisy
and
crowded.
So
we
couldn't
imagine
setting
it
at
a
bus
stop.
In
India,
trains
are
the
most
used
form
of
transport,
and
it's
very
common
for
passengers
to
exchange
stories
on
a
long
journey,
so
that's
how
we
set
the
piece."
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
marks
Aamir
Khan's
reunion
with
his
3
Idiots
co-star
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan.
The
film
also
features
Mona
Singh
in
a
lead
role
and
marks
the
Bollywood
debut
of
Telugu
star
Naga
Chaitanya.
