Hyderabad: Filmmaker Laxman Utekar's latest release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is inching close to Rs 50 crore mark at the box office. The film headlined by Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan will enjoy a solo run at the box office for two weeks until Prabhas and Kriti Sanon's highly-anticipated tentpole film Adipurush hits big screens on June 16. The film opened with Rs 5.49 crore and witnessed a significant surge in the box office collection during the first weekend. But later, numbers dropped and remained steady at around Rs 3 crore. On the second Saturday, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, however, witnessed impressive growth at the box office.
On Sunday, Laxman took to social media to share Zara Hatke Zara Bachke box office collection for day 9. His Instagram post suggests that the family entertainer raked in Rs 5.76 crore nett at the domestic box office on the second Saturday which brings the total to Rs 46.53 crore. With an upward trend at the box office, the trade experts are hopeful of the film crossing Rs 50 crore mark by Sunday night. The box office numbers of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke have reinstilled faith in makers to go theatrical and not rely only on OTT for mid-budget films.
