Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor's highly anticipated romantic comedy hit theaters on Friday, generating a lot of buzz and excitement.
With a strong fan base and growing anticipation, the film had everyone eagerly awaiting its release.
According to the latest reports from Sacnilk, it’s safe to say that Loveyapa had a decent performance on its first day at the box office. Despite the competition, the film managed to capture the audience's attention and showed a steady start. Here’s the breakdown of Loveyapa's 1st-day box office collection:
Loveyapa earned approximately Rs 1.25 crore net in India on its opening day, based on early estimates.
Despite a slow start during the morning shows, Loveyapa saw a significant increase in footfalls as the day progressed, with a noticeable upward trend in the evening and night screenings. Here's the breakdown of Loveyapa's Day 1 Hindi (2D) occupancy in theaters:
Morning Shows: 5.65%
Afternoon Shows: 8.27%
Evening Shows: 8.56%
Night Shows: 15.77%
The film's performance picked up during the later part of the day, showing a positive response from the audience as it reached its peak occupancy during the night screenings.
As it made its debut on the big screen, viewers were hopeful that it would live up to the expectations surrounding its charming plot and the on-screen chemistry between the leads. The movie promises a delightful mix of humor, romance, and heartfelt moments, making it a perfect choice for audiences seeking a light-hearted escape.
Loveyapa, directed by Advait Chandan, faced a tough challenge at the box office, as it did not have a solo release and had to compete with other films. Not only did it go up against Badass Ravikumar, which also debuted on the same day, but it also had to contend with holdover releases like Sky Force and Deva, which earned around Rs 85 lakh and Rs 80 lakh, respectively.
Despite this stiff competition, Loveyapa managed to outperform both of the older films, signaling a promising start. This demonstrates that the film has captured the audience's interest, despite the crowded release window.

While Loveyapa’s opening figures are modest, trade experts believe that the film's growth in evening and night shows points to positive word-of-mouth, which could lead to stronger box office performance over the weekend.
The real test will be in the coming days, as it remains to be seen whether the film can maintain its momentum and achieve a solid first-week collection. If the positive trend continues, Loveyapa has the potential to perform well and make a mark at the box office in the long run.
