Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha was released in theatres on August 11 and clashed with Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar's emotional drama Raksha Bandhan. Both the films have had a disappointing start at the box office compared to the expectations and have received mixed reviews from the audience and the critics.
The Advait Chandan directorial collected around Rs 9.75 to Rs 10.25 crore on its fourth day of release on Sunday, August 14, taking its total collections to Rs 37.50 crore, as per the Pinkvilla report. The report also states that the film will earn around Rs 9 crore on the Independence Day holiday and the five-day extended holiday weekend will turn out to be Rs 46 crore.
The #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha trend before the release could be one of the reasons behind the film's poor collections as netizens had boycotted Aamir and Kareena's film due to the past controversial statements made by the leading actors, who were previously seen together in the 2009 blockbuster 3 Idiots and the 2012 thriller Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.

Apart from Aamir and Kareena, the film features Naga Chaitanya, Mona Singh, and Manav Vij in the leading roles. Son of South superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni, Naga Chaitanya makes his Bollywood debut with Laal Singh Chaddha portraying an army officer named Balaraju Bodi.
The film is an official remake of the Hollywood classic Forrest Gump that starred Tom Hanks in the titular role. The Robert Zemeckis directorial, which won six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actor awards, shows how Forrest unintentionally impact several historical events in the 20th century-United States.
Before Laal Singh Chaddha, Advait Chandan made his directorial debut with the 2017 drama Secret Superstar which starred Aamir Khan in the supporting role with Zaira Wasim, Meher Vij, and Raj Arun playing the leading roles.
