Two months into 2025, Bollywood has witnessed a series of box-office debacles. High-profile films like슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Azaad,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Emergency,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Fateh, and슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Deva슬롯 머신 사이트 추천have flopped in their theatrical runs. In fact, the only clear hit the industry can boast is the re-release of the 2016 film슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Sanam Teri Kasam, which hit theatres on February 7, 2025. On the same day,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa, a new release starring star kids Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, also arrived. Despite opening to warm reviews,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천joined the growing list of 2025 flops after just one week in cinemas.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Loveyapa슬롯사이트� Box Office Verdict 슬롯사이트� Hit or Flop: After Shahid Kapoor슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트˜Deva슬롯사이트�, Has Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor슬롯사이트™s Romcom Fallen Victim To 슬롯사이트˜Remake Curse슬롯사이트�?

Directed by Advait Chandan, whose previous film슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Laal Singh Chaddha슬롯 머신 사이트 추천flopped so badly that it prompted Aamir Khan to take a sabbatical,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천earned a meagre INR 6.55 crore in India during its first week. With a reported budget of INR 60 crore, the film슬롯사이트™s theatrical performance is undeniably disastrous.

So, why did슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천fail despite its star-studded promotions, including Aamir Khan슬롯사이트™s active support? Here are five factors that may have contributed to its poor box-office performance:

1. The Remake Curse

Post-pandemic, audience tastes have shifted dramatically. With exposure to diverse content on OTT platforms, viewers have grown less receptive to Bollywood remakes. Even if they haven슬롯사이트™t seen the original, audiences often dismiss remakes, knowing the source material is readily available online. When it was revealed that슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천was an official remake of the Tamil hit슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Love Today, many wrote it off as doomed from the start. Had the makers heeded these signs, they might have reconsidered their approach.

2. Lack of Audience Interest in the Leads

While슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천marks their big-screen debut, neither Junaid Khan nor Khushi Kapoor is new to acting. Junaid debuted in Netflix슬롯사이트™s슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Maharaj, and Khushi in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Archies. Unfortunately, both performances were heavily criticised, leaving a poor first impression. For their sophomore projects, the young actors needed to double down on their efforts to win over audiences. Sadly, their pre-release promotional material failed to generate the necessary excitement.

3. Trailers and Promotions That Missed the Mark

Loveyapa슬롯 머신 사이트 추천kicked off its promotions with the title track, followed by the trailer. While this was a different tactical approach, it backfired as both the song and trailer were widely trolled online. The netizens were also not quite happy with how the stars were promoting the movie while pointing out how Junaid was not able to engage with his answers and his lack of chemistry with Khushi. Though the actors delivered decent performances in the surprisingly engaging rom-com (IMHO), the damage was done. Perhaps the film will fare better critically when it arrives on OTT.

4. The Need for a Strong Soundtrack

A rom-com슬롯사이트™s success often hinges on its soundtrack. The last Bollywood rom-com to perform슬롯 머신 사이트 추천decently at the box office was슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, which boasted a stellar soundtrack. In contrast,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯사이트™s title track garnered attention for all the wrong reasons, and none of its other songs managed to resonate with viewers. This was a significant missed opportunity for the film.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Loveyapa슬롯사이트� Movie Review: Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor Are the Surprise Packages of This Sharp and Witty Romcom.

5. Overshadowed by Himesh Reshammiya

Loveyapa슬롯사이트™s clash with슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Badass Ravikumar슬롯 머신 사이트 추천didn슬롯사이트™t help its prospects. While슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Badass Ravikumar슬롯 머신 사이트 추천wasn슬롯사이트™t a blockbuster either, Himesh Reshammiya슬롯사이트™s parody-style action entertainer stole the spotlight with its 슬롯사이트œso bad it슬롯사이트™s good슬롯사이트� charm in the first few days. To add insult to injury,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Sanam Teri Kasam -슬롯 머신 사이트 추천the re-release that outperformed슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa - also featured a soundtrack composed by Himesh Reshammiya. In the end, Himesh delivered the final blow to슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Loveyapa슬롯사이트™s fate - not once, but twice.
