Sat Feb 22 06:42:22 UTC 2025: ## “Mere Husband Ki Biwi” Opens Weak at Box Office Despite BOGO Offer

**MUMBAI** – Bollywood’s latest romantic comedy, “Mere Husband Ki Biwi,” starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh, had a disappointing opening day at the box office, grossing a mere ₹1.5 crore on Friday. This underperformed even against initial predictions, despite a “buy one, get one” (BOGO) ticket offer launched to boost weekend sales.

The film, directed by Mudassar Aziz and produced by Pooja Entertainment, faced stiff competition from the successful Vicky Kaushal film, “Chhaava.” While the makers hope for improved weekend numbers due to the BOGO offer and on-spot bookings, early reviews have been mixed. Hindustan Times described the film as “strictly average,” praising the music but criticizing the weak emotional impact and lack of consistent humor.

Despite the underwhelming debut, the film’s producers remain optimistic, citing the viral success of songs like “Gori Hai Kalaiyaan,” “Ikk Vaari,” and “Sawariya Ji” on social media as a potential driver of future ticket sales. The BOGO offer, promoted on X (formerly Twitter) by film critic Taran Adarsh, will be available throughout the opening weekend at select cinemas. The plot centers around a Delhi professional caught in a comedic love triangle.
