Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah's thriller Ulajh opened to mixed response from the audience. While a section of society praised the actors' performances, others called the film 'predictable'. The impact of the response has also been seen at the film's box office collection.
As per the tracking site Sacnilk, Janhvi Kapoor's Ulajh has taken a disastourous start at the box office. The film failed to make an impact and has earned only Rs 1.10 crore at the box office on day 1. The film has therefore registered the lowest opening ever for Janhvi Kapoor.
Janhvi Kapoor's last film, Mr & Mrs Mahi opened at Rs 6.75 crore, while her other theatrical releases including Roohi and Dhadak also performed better at the box office on day 1. The film clashed with Ajay Devgn and Tabu-starrer Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, but failed to beat the romantic drama and is lagging behind it since day one. Now it will be interesting to see if Janhvi's film can buckle up and race ahead of Ajay Devgn's film in the weekend or not.
After the release, Gulshan took to his X handle to open up about the performance, writing, “'Word Of Mouth' is the Mt Everest of publicity. It can’t be created without the organic support of the audience. This is what every movie in the cinemas hopes & prays. #Ulajh is in cinemas today.”
Helmed by Sudhanshu Saria and produced by Vineet Jain under Junglee Pictures. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Tailang and Adil Hussain in the lead roles.
