The recently released romantic film Do Deewane Seher Mein is facing a slow run at the box office, with collections dropping sharply after the opening weekend.
On Day 5, the film earned an estimated Rs 0.14 crore India net, taking its total domestic collection to around Rs 4.94 crore.
The film opened with Rs 1.25 crore on its first Friday and showed slight growth on Saturday with Rs 1.5 crore, followed by Rs 1.45 crore on Sunday. However, the momentum did not hold on weekdays, as Monday saw a steep fall to Rs 0.6 crore, and the fifth day numbers indicate a further slowdown.
Occupancy on Tuesday remained low across circuits. The film recorded an overall 5.33% Hindi occupancy in morning shows. Among the key markets, NCR posted 6% occupancy across 315 shows, while Mumbai registered 5% from 234 shows. Pune and Ahmedabad performed relatively better with 7% occupancy, running 104 and 186 shows respectively.
In southern territories, the response was limited — Bengaluru saw 4% occupancy from 88 shows, while Hyderabad logged 3% across just 28 shows. Kolkata also reported 3% from 66 shows, and Surat recorded 3% in 79 shows. Lucknow showed 6% occupancy with 60 shows, while Jaipur and Bhopal stood at 5% each with 43 and 15 shows, respectively. Chandigarh had 3% occupancy from 33 shows, and Chennai recorded no noticeable footfall despite 12 shows.
Despite a fair weekend start, the film has struggled to attract audiences during weekdays.
Do Deewane Seher Mein is directed by Ravi Udyawar, best known for Mom, and is produced by Bhansali Productions, Zee Studios and Ravi Udyawar Media. The film stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur in the lead, with Ila Arun, Joy Sengupta and Sandeepa Dhar in key supporting roles.

Marketed as an urban romantic drama, the film generated interest for its fresh pairing and music-led narrative. The low audience turnout in big cities and the drop after the weekend mean the film may struggle to stay strong in theatres unless the collections improve in the next few days.
