Box Office Predictions for Khoobsurat and Daawat-E-Ishq

On September 19, two power packed movies will be clashing at the box office. On one hand, there is a Daawat-E-Ishq starring Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapoor, while on the other hand, it is Khoobsurat, a remake of 1980s Rekha starrer super-hit movie of the same name.

Khoobsurat is a rom-com that looks to be different from the original movie. It’s also the debut movie for Fawad Khan, a popular Pakistani actor. The new Khan on the block has become the talk of the town because of his good looks and deep husky voice.

This movie is produced by Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Siddharth Roy Kapur. As it is the first Bollywood film to be released under the Disney brand name, so people have high expectations from Khoobsurat, however the buzz for the flick is not too strong.

We are expecting a 20-30% occupancy for Khoobsurat and there might be a chance of the movie picking up over the weekend due to positive word of mouth.

Coming over to Daawat-E-Ishq, the pairing of the movie looks interesting. Both Parineeti and Aditya have had a good track record on the box office. Aditya Roy Kapoor was last seen in Aashiqui 2 and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, and both the movies got stupendous response on the box office. The same is also true for Parineeti, whose last two movies were Shuddh Desi Romance and Hasee Toh Phasee. However, things are not looking too bright for this movie either. We are hoping for a 30% occupancy for this movie, too.

Amongst Daawat-E-Ishq and Khoobsurat, the former seems to have a better chance but we sure hope that both the movies manage to do a good business in the coming weeks.
