Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run has had a weak theatrical debut, raising concerns about its box office potential. Despite the sitcom’s long-running TV popularity, the film reportedly collected only ₹25 lakh on opening day.
The low figure reflects poor audience turnout, with occupancy estimated at just 5.8% across major Hindi-speaking markets. Early trends indicate that exhibitors may hesitate to keep prime slots unless there is a sharp improvement over the weekend.
Previous TV-to-film adaptations performed much better. Khichdi: The Movie earned around ₹60 lakh on day one in 2010, while Khichdi 2 collected approximately ₹1.1 crore in 2023. Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! is far behind, despite higher ticket prices.
If current trends continue, the film may struggle to cross ₹1 crore lifetime. This shows that television fame alone cannot ensure box office success, and strong content or marketing is crucial to draw audiences into theatres.
