Fawad Khan's Khoobsurat Off to Tepid Start at Box Office
Pakistani actor Fawad Khan may have managed to become the talk of the town for his suave charm and good looks, but his film Khoobsurat has got a lukewarm response at the box office, in its first weekend.
Khoobsurat, which is Fawad Khan's first Indian film managed to gross around Rs 11-12 crore in its first weekend in theatres, according to Bollywood website koimoi.com.
Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Dawat-e-Ishq managed to do marginally better business at around 13-14 crore in the first weekend. Both Khoobsurat and Dawat-e-Ishq released on Friday.
Khoobsurat, produced by Disney and Anil Kapoor Production also stars Sonam Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah, Kirron Kher and theatre veteran Aamir Raza Hussain.
The film loosely based on the 1980 film based on the same name, has received positive responses from the audience and will rely on 'word of mouth' for its business to pick up before Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif starrer Bang Bang hits theatres on October 2.
