It’s a pleasant surprise that Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is on its way to becoming a winner at the Indian box office despite negligible buzz in the pre-release phase. If we search for a similar film that did well and exceeded everyone’s expectations, it was Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. So, today, we’ll compare the first week’s Indian collection of both films. Keep reading to know more!
There have been many box office surprises, but we decided to compare TBMAUJ with the Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan starrer for several reasons. The biggest reason is that both films belong to the romantic comedy genre, and their content is light-hearted. Both are typical Bollywood mid-sized films and have a moderate budget. In terms of pre-release buzz, both films were dull, and expectations were low about their box office performance.

Upon its release, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke saw decent reviews coming in. Along with favorable word-of-mouth and chartbuster music, the film managed to enjoy a steady run after a decent start of 5.49 crores. It ended the opening week at 37.35 crores, and all thanks to support from young audiences, the film showed strong legs in its theatrical run. The romcom ended its journey at 88 crores net at the Indian box office and was a commercial success.

Coming to the latest release, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is also following the same trajectory. While reviews were mixed, the film is enjoying good footfalls among young audiences, which we saw on Valentine’s Day. Talking about the start, the Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer opened at 7.02 crores and maintained a healthy momentum over the entire week, resulting in a total collection of 47.18 crores net at the Indian box office.
Take a look at the day-wise collection of TBMAUJ and ZHZB:

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya VS Zara Hatke Zara Bachke
As we can see, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is much ahead of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke when it comes to the first week total. If calculated, it’s a difference of 26.31%. While Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan‘s film ended its journey at 88 crores, Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s romcom has every chance of entering the 100 crore club as there’s absence of any major competition for the next few weeks.
