With less than a week left for the release of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, the advance bookings have been opened and the response is shockingly poor. Unlike usual Aamir Khan films, Laal Singh Chaddha seems to have no buyers among the audiences.
Aamir’s two previous films Dangal and Secret Superstar are both record-breaking films. They have become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. But, going by the bookings of Laal Singh Chaddha, it seems unlikely that it will join this list.
This is largely due to the boycott campaign of Laal Singh Chaddha on social media, especially on Twitter. With tweets such as #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha trending all over India. Going by the current trend, the film will have a slower start for sure.
But, Aamir has a strong fanbase of his own that will support him as long as the content is good. Hopefully, this unnecessary hate brigade stops, and positive word of mouth helps the film to pull in skeptics. Aamir Khan is one of India’s finest actors and branding him as an anti-nationalist just for the heck of it seems unfair.
Laal Singh Chaddha releases in theatres on 13th August. It also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, and Manav Vij in crucial roles. It is an official adaption of the American cult classic Forrest Gump, adapted to the Indian version by Atul Kulkarni. Advaith is the director of the film and Aamir has produced the movie himself.
