Janhvi Kapoor starrer ‘Ulajh’ did not receive positive reviews when it released on Friday, and it appears that the opening day earnings were also underwhelming. The seasoned actors Roshan Mathew and Gulshan Deviah also starred in the spy thriller.
Janhvi Kapoor starrer Ulajh earns Rs 1.1 crore
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie ‘Ulajh’ only made Rs 1.1 crore on its opening day. The movie, which was directed by Sudhanshu Saria, reportedly made decent earning on its first day in India. ‘Ulajh’ recorded a Hindi occupancy rate of 13.02% overall on Friday. For morning shows, the theatre occupancy rate was 7.38% overall. It was 10.85% for afternoon shows, 13.06% for evening shows, and 20.78% for night shows.
Ulajh movie review
The Hindustan Times review of Ulajh reads: While Ulajh is not a complete disappointment, it is a missed opportunity to explore complex themes and ideas. The impressive cast and technical brilliance are overshadowed by the film’s narrative shortcomings. Despite its flaws, Ulajh is a step in the right direction for Janhvi Kapoor. It demonstrates her willingness to take on challenging roles and showcases her growing maturity as an actor. While the film may not reinvent the spy thriller genre, it certainly offers a fresh perspective.
In the movie, Janhvi plays Suhana, an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer. Under intense scrutiny, she must expertly navigate a difficult mission at the London embassy as the youngest Deputy High Commissioner.
After ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’, this is Janhvi’s second theatrical release of the year. Her film ‘Mili’ had the poorest opening weekend in theatres, earning just Rs 50 lakh on its first day. The film ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’, starring Rajkummar Rao and produced by Dharma Productions, made Rs 7 crore its first day.
