Sat Feb 22 09:12:25 UTC 2025: ## Arjun Kapoor’s “Mere Husband Ki Biwi” Flops at the Box Office
**MUMBAI** – The romantic comedy “Mere Husband Ki Biwi,” starring Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, and Bhumi Pednekar, opened to a disappointing start at the Indian box office on February 21st. Despite a strong promotional campaign, the film, directed by Mudassar Aziz, garnered only ₹1.5 crore (approximately $180,000 USD) in net collections on its first day, according to Sacnilk. Occupancy rates were a mere 12.17 percent.
The film’s weak debut is attributed in part to the box office dominance of Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhava,” which continues to perform exceptionally well, earning ₹23 crore (approximately $2.8 million USD) on its eighth day alone, bringing its total to ₹242.25 crore (approximately $29 million USD). “Mere Husband Ki Biwi” is struggling to compete with the massive success of “Chhava.”
The weekend holds crucial importance for “Mere Husband Ki Biwi.” Unless the film significantly improves its performance, its chances of recouping its budget appear bleak. The film also features Harsh Gujral, Shakti Kapoor, and Dino Morea in supporting roles. While the trailer had received positive feedback, the underwhelming box office numbers represent a significant disappointment for the film’s creators and stars.
