The film’s Monday and Tuesday collections were rock steady – 0.36 crore and 0.37 crore, respectively. On Valentine’s Day, the movie picked up slightly with 0.57 crore collections. Lover’s 6 days box office total stands at 4.09 crore.
On the oversesd front, needless to say, Lal Salaam collected 7.35 crore, while lover barely managed to earn 0.50 crore.
Although Lal Salaam earned more overall. After six days of running in theaters, Lal Salaam has accumulated a total of 14.15 crore, while Lover only brought in 4.09 crore. What’s interesting to observe is that the total business generated by these two films at the Kollywood box office is less than 20 crore.

These two movies alone brought in almost 150 crore in total, indicating that they were much more popular with audiences than Lal Salaam and Lover.
