Entertainment Dec 01, 2025

Gustaakh Ishq: Kuch Pehle Jaisa, starring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, had a slow start at the box office—earning just ₹1.25 crore in its first weekend.
The film opened with ₹50 lakh on Friday but saw earnings drop over the next two days.

Even with some positive word-of-mouth on Day 1 and a cast including Sharib Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah, the movie struggled to pull in crowds. It's also designer Manish Malhotra's first production venture.
With new releases like Dhurandhar coming up this week, Gustaakh Ishq is expected to wrap up with only around ₹2-2.5 crore overall.
