If the first day box office collection of Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is any indication, this film is going to be another big dud to come out of the Hindi film industry i recent times. The film, which is a remake of the 1994 Hollywood classic 'Forrest Gump' grossed only Rs 12 crore on the first day.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the film's figures on Twitter. His tweet read, "#LaalSinghChaddha is shockingly low on Day 1... The dull start has added to the woes of an ailing industry... Better at premium multiplexes, but mass circuits are weak... Needs to score big numbers from Fri-Sun to salvage the situation... Thu ₹ 12 cr. #India biz. *ALL* VERSIONS."

The Advait Chandan directorial cannot blame competition either as Akshay Kumar-led 'Raksha Bandhan' also disappointed with only Rs 8.20 crore earning on the first day. There had been social media boycotts against the film and that may have played a role in this dismal opening. Written by Atul Kulkarni, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh in supporting capacity.

The consensus among Indian moviegoers is mostly that it has failed to recreate the magic of the original. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump' itself was an adaptation of the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom and was centred on a simple-minded but polite and innocent American man (the titular Forrest Gump). He has a child-like, practical intelligence. Treated as a dimwit by others, he inadvertently takes part in and influences several important events in 20th century America.

Of late, most big Hindi film releases have played second fiddle to the films of South Indian states. And even a film starring Aamir, who is a shrewd promoter of his films, has failed to break the trend.

Wion's film critic Shomini Sen gave a mixed review of the film. She wrote, "'Laal Singh Chaddha' may have been promoted as Aamir Khan's big film, but the film is worth a watch for actors other than Aamir and for its heartwarming story. This is not Aamir's best performance and don't expect it to impact you the way some of his previous films have."

'Laal Singh Chaddha' box office collection Day 1: Aamir Khan film sinks, earns just Rs 12 cr

Aamir Khan's much-awaited Hindi remake of 1994's Hollywood film 'Forrest Gump', titled 'Laal Singh Chaddha', is finally here. The Advait Chandan directorial, which is written by Atul Kulkarni, stars Aamir in the titular role. Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh play supporting roles. While there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the film, both positive and negative, the film reportedly has failed to lure a lot of moviegoers to the cinemas, at least on the first day. Even the film's holiday release (today is the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan) does not seem to have helped its chances.&nbsp;

As per Box Office India, the film has only 15-20 per cent occupancy in theatres, which is shocking and unprecedented for an Aamir film. Ever a great marketer, this time Aamir has clearly failed to recreate his magic.&nbsp;

The Guardian's Mike McCahill said about the film, "Assiduously replicating its predecessor’s strengths and weaknesses, the one thing it risks is that a three-word summary – Hindi Forrest Gump – would tell you all you ever needed to know about it."

IndieWire's Proma Khosla wrote in her review, "Instead of a box of chocolates or the obvious Indian equivalent, the film takes things a step further, adding strong depth and resonance to what could otherwise have been an unremarkable adaptation."
