Let’s be honest — when a film backed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring two of Bollywood’s most promising young faces opens to ₹4 crore in three days, it stings a little. Do Deewane Sheher Mein, directed by Ravi Udyawar and featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, had all the ingredients of a crowd-pleaser. But the box office told a different story.

What Went Wrong in the Opening Weekend?
The film opened on February 20, 2026, and kicked off with ₹1.20 crore on Day 1 — a number that already signalled trouble. Day 2 saw a modest bump to ₹1.45 crore, but Day 3 actually dropped by nearly 10%, closing at ₹1.35 crore. The opening weekend total: a disappointing ₹4 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Analysts note that Day 1 numbers may have been slightly inflated by PVRINOX discount offers, making the subsequent drop even more telling.

Do Deewane Sheher Mein: About the Film
Do Deewane Sheher Mein is a bittersweet romantic drama about an unlikely couple — one who struggles with pronunciation, the other who wants to change the world. Despite their bumpy beginning, love wins. The film also features Ila Arun, Ayesha Raza, Joy Sengupta, and Sandeepa Dhar in supporting roles.
It’s the kind of intimate, character-driven love story that doesn’t usually set the box office ablaze — but even by those standards, ₹4 crore is a tough pill to swallow for a Bhansali production.
What Happens Next?
The film’s survival now hinges entirely on its Monday hold. A strong weekday trend could still salvage a decent total, especially since it has a couple of clear weeks before the big guns — Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic — arrive to steal its screens. The silver lining? No major competition in the immediate short run.
