Mere Husband Ki Biwi Opens in Theatres: Box Office, Reviews, More

The latest Bollywood romantic comedy, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, directed by Mudassar Aziz, has officially released in theatres on Friday.

Featuring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh, the film explores modern relationships with humor against the backdrop of Delhi-NCR. As audiences experience the first-day screenings, industry experts are closely watching its box office performance and reception.

Despite a star-studded cast, Mere Husband Ki Biwi has seen limited pre-release buzz. Advance booking figures suggest a moderate response, particularly in northern markets like Delhi-NCR and Punjab. Industry analysts estimate an opening-day collection between Rs 1 crore and Rs 2 crore, with the potential for higher earnings if positive word-of-mouth drives weekend footfalls.

However, the film faces stiff competition from Chhaava, the Vicky Kaushal-led historical drama that has already surpassed Rs 200 crore in its debut week. With Chhaava maintaining strong occupancy rates, Mere Husband Ki Biwi will need strong audience engagement to gain momentum.

Initial reviews highlight the film’s comedic moments and performances. While Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh’s chemistry has been appreciated, Arjun Kapoor’s comic timing has also garnered positive feedback.

Some critics, however, have pointed out that the storyline follows a conventional rom-com formula, making its success dependent on audience reception rather than novelty.

On social media, reactions are mixed. Some viewers praise the lighthearted approach and humor, while others compare it to previous works by director Mudassar Aziz. Given that his last project, Khel Khel Mein, underperformed at the box office, the performance of Mere Husband Ki Biwi is being closely watched.

The film enters the market amid Chhaava’s ongoing dominance. While Mere Husband Ki Biwi caters to a different audience with its comedy-driven narrative, box office trends indicate that historical and action-packed films have been performing exceptionally well in recent months. Whether this romantic comedy can hold its ground remains uncertain.

For Mere Husband Ki Biwi to sustain momentum, strong word-of-mouth will be crucial. If audiences connect with the humor and performances, the film could see improved collections over the weekend.

With a cast known for their comic timing and a director experienced in rom-com storytelling, the film has the ingredients for a potential hit. However, its fate will ultimately depend on audience engagement and how well it can counter Chhaava’s stronghold at the box office.
