Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar edged ahead of the other new Hindi release this Friday. Trade estimates tracked by Pinkvilla put its opening-day nett at roughly Rs 50 lakh. Tum Mere Ho, headlined by Gurmeet Choudhary and Isha Malviya, managed only Rs 25-30 lakh.
For a film with an entirely debutant cast, the Rs 50 lakh start is respectable. It sits in the same rom-com space as Luv Ranjan's Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which opened to Rs 94 lakh back in 2011. The comparison is loose — different era, different scale, but it gives a sense of the ceiling for this genre when word of mouth clicks.
Tum Mere Ho's number is weak by any measure. A known television face in Choudhary and a Bigg Boss contestant in Malviya usually guarantee a higher floor. The Rs 25-30 lakh band suggests the trailer didn't convert curiosity into footfalls.
