**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Arjun Kapoor’s romantic comedy, “Mere Husband Ki Biwi,” debuted with underwhelming box office results, earning less than ₹2 crore (approximately $240,000 USD) on its opening day. The film, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh, faced stiff competition from the blockbuster “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,” starring Vicky Kaushal, which continues to dominate the box office in its second week.
Despite pre-release promotion, “Mere Husband Ki Biwi,” directed by Mudassar Aziz, received only middling critical reviews. The film, made on a budget of ₹60 crore (approximately $7.2 million USD), needs a significant boost in weekend collections to stand a chance of recovering its production costs. The makers remain hopeful for improved performance over the weekend. The film’s disappointing opening raises concerns about its overall box office prospects.
