Sunny Takes the Crown as Aamir Stumbles at Box Office

The Bollywood box office is serving up quite the showdown this week. As per reports in the Indian media, Sunny Deol’s latest film is racing ahead with impressive numbers by its fifth day at the box office. Meanwhile, industry chatter suggests Aamir Khan’s recent release isn’t faring as well, marking another box office struggle for the star. It’s becoming something of a pattern for Khan in recent times.

Deol, the man who delivered action classics like Border and Gadar 2, seems to have tapped into exactly what audiences want right now. His current film is reportedly connecting with viewers in a major way, translating to strong business across screens nationwide.

Khan, whose filmography includes mega-blockbusters like Lagaan, 3 Idiots, and Dangal, is facing some headwinds. When someone of his caliber hits a slower patch at the box office, the entire industry takes note. Sometimes the numbers just don’t align with expectations, no matter how strong your track record is.

Here’s what we’re hearing from the trade circuit: Sunny’s moment, Aamir’s waiting game. GaraMasalaFM’s cameras and sources are tracking this story.
