When Bollywood's versatile actor, Ayushmann Khurrana announced Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, critics, as well as fans, expected quite a lot out of the queer love story. The movie which is been tagged as the first-ever mainstream LGBTQ+ flick,  according to us, failed to pack a punch storywise. But having said that, the movie started off really well at the ticket window. The first-day collection of the gay love story was Rs 9.55 crore which indeed made us think that yes finally the janta is finding two men romancing on the silvescreen normal. However, during the weekdays the film dipped with regards to its the collection and on Day 6 (Wednesday) has managed to mint only Rs 2.62 crore at the box office. Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Vs Bhoot Box Office Collection Day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana's Gay Love Story Earns Rs 9.55 Crore And Beats Vicky Kaushal's Film
