We’re just a day away from the release of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor sharing the screen for the first time. It is helmed by Kai Po Che director Abhishek Kapoor.
The film depicts the story of a gym trainer named Manu (Ayushmann) who falls in love with a Zumba teacher (Vaani). They fall in love and everything goes well until Manu discovers his love is transgender. Just like any other Ayushmann film, this one too deals with a not-much-discussed subject in society. This time it’s about the LGBTQ community.
Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui looks like a niche concept, and it will be interesting to see how it is received at the box office. Speaking of the opening day, the film has a chance to be in the top 3 Bollywood openers of 2021. Sooryavanshi isn’t leaving its first spot on the list. The battle will be for the rest of the positions on the list.
