The much-anticipated Bhojpuri film Chintu Ki Dulhaniya hit theaters on September 20, 2024, starring Pradeep Pandey (Chintu) and Yamini Singh in lead roles. Directed by Chandan Singh, the movie blends romance, comedy, and horror in a way reminiscent of Bollywood hits like Stree.
On its opening day, Chintu Ki Dulhaniya garnered an estimated ₹0.01 crore at the box office. Despite the modest start, the film’s performance is expected to pick up over the weekend due to Pradeep Pandey’s strong fanbase in the Bhojpuri film industry.
The movie’s storyline, centered around a quirky romantic journey infused with supernatural elements, has managed to attract a decent audience, especially in Bhojpuri-speaking regions. However, considering the hype around its release, trade analysts had anticipated a stronger start. With positive word-of-mouth and more people likely to visit theaters over the weekend, the film is expected to grow in terms of earnings.
The music and cinematography, which capture the essence of Bhojpuri culture, have been praised, while the performances of Pradeep Pandey and Yamini Singh have also received favorable feedback from fans. The chemistry between the lead actors and the unique mix of horror-comedy have been major draws for audiences looking for fresh content in regional cinema.
While Chintu Ki Dulhaniya had a slow opening day, it remains to be seen how it performs over the next few days, as family audiences and fans of Bhojpuri cinema turn out in larger numbers.
This moderate opening is not uncommon for regional films, but with an engaging plot and popular star cast, the film has potential to attract more footfalls as the week progresses.
