Will "Gustaakh Ishq" Survive the Box Office Storm?
When Gustaakh Ishq hit the screens on November 28, 2025, it promised a nostalgic journey through the poetic lanes of 1990s romance, starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh. But as the first week unfolds, the film's box office numbers tell a different story—one of struggle, competition, and a steep drop in collections.
A Promising Start, But a Sharp Decline
The film opened with a modest ₹0.5 crore on its first day, a figure that remained steady on Saturday. However, by Wednesday (Day 6), the collection dropped by nearly 50%, earning only ₹6 lakhs. This sharp decline is a clear sign of the tough competition it faces, especially from the highly anticipated Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh and the ongoing success of Tere Ishq Mein with Dhanush and Kriti Sanon.
Day-by-Day Breakdown
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹0.5 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹0.45 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹0.35 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹0.07 crore
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹0.12 crore
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹0.06 crore
By the end of the first week, Gustaakh Ishq had collected a total of ₹1.55 crore in the domestic market. While the film saw a minor spike on Tuesday, it couldn't sustain the momentum, and the numbers fell sharply the next day.
What's Next for "Gustaakh Ishq"?
With Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar set to release on December 5, the competition is only going to get fiercer. The advance bookings for Dhurandhar have already crossed ₹4.24 crore, indicating a blockbuster opening. For Gustaakh Ishq, the road ahead looks challenging, but the film's unique storytelling and star power might still win over a niche audience.
