India's biggest flop film, lead actors broke up after the release, never worked together again, made in Rs 11 crore, earned just Rs... During 2000s, Bollywood was experimenting with freshly new pairs and exploring different type of genres. Among the many duos that made unusual yet memorable pairing, one was Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor's collaboration. Although, they just starred together in only one film, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya, but their paring continues to hold a special place in audiences hearts. Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya's box office collection Released in 2002, the romantic drama was directed by Dharmesh Darshan, and features Abhishek Bachchan, Karisma Kapoor along with Akshay Kumar in key roles. Made in a reported budget of Rs 11 crore, the film failed to set the box office on fire, earning just Rs 4 crore worldwide and Rs 12 crore in India. Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya attempted to establish Abhishek Bachchan as a romantic hero, alongside Karisma Kapoor, who was already one of the most established and prominent actresses of the 90s. Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya's plot The storyline revolves around a love triangle. Pooja (Karisma Kapoor) gives up her promising career to build a life with her husband Shiv (Abhishek Bachchan) but their marriage crumbles due to growing misunderstandings and conflicts.

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection Day 2: Aamir Khan starrer doubles its opening day collection, crosses Rs 30 crore mark

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection Day 2: Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par hit theatres on June 20. While the Day 1 collection was underwhelming, the film nearly doubled its earnings on Saturday. Positive word-of-mouth seems to have kicked in over the weekend, contributing to the film's improved box office performance. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par had a decent start at the box office, earning Rs 10.7 crore (India net) on its opening day. On Day 2, the film saw significant growth, collecting approximately Rs 21.50 crore across all languages. The RS Prasanna directoral's total India net collection now stands at Rs 32.20 crore. On Saturday, Sitaare Zameen Par recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 36.16%. The Aamir Khan film began the day with 13.00% occupancy, which rose to 31.86% in the afternoon. Evening shows saw a further increase to 43.05%, while night shows registered the highest occupancy at 56.71%. The movie opened to positive reviews on Friday. The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review, 'To make a film revolving around intellectual disability is fraught with risk. If you make people cry, people within the community can accuse the filmmakers of being miserabilist; if you make them laugh, you can be charged with making light of a tough situation. Borrowing the tone from the original, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' chooses to stay on the side of laughter, and it's a wise decision, because what you can convey to the average person through laughs sometimes has more weight than wrung-out-tears.' Besides Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, Brijendra Kala, and Dolly Ahluwalia in key roles, Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel of Aamir Khan's 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par, also stars 10 newcomers – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.
