With two very different genres, the movies will clash at the box office. While the legal drama is helmed by Anubhav Sinha, the latter is backed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Here's how much these movies will mint at the box office on opening day:
Assi Box Office Day 1 Prediction
Assi is the third collaboration between the actor and director after Mulk and Thappad, both of which achieved moderate success at the box office. The advance booking for Assi opened on Wednesday, two days ahead of its release in theatres. The movie is likely expected to open between Rs 1 and 2.50 crore, as per Pinkvilla.

Assi centres on the case of a teacher (Kani Kusruti), who is kidnapped and gang-raped, and her struggle for justice with the aid of her attorney (Taapsee Pannu). Beyond the trial, the narrative shows how survivors are consistently let down by their communities, families, and the system.
Do Deewane Seher Mein Opening Day Prediction
Do Deewane Seher Mein, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, is poised to revive the classic romance. The film follows the lives of two awkward millennials who are set up for an arranged marriage and break their pledges. The movie follows the two as they navigate a flawed, perplexing relationship while battling their own personal conflicts against the backdrop of the large city.
The rom-com, backed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's production, will open for between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1.50 crore, according to the same publication.
Assi vs Do Deewane Seher Mein
Assi may defeat Do Deewane Seher Mein on opening day despite appealing to very distinct audience segments. Anubhav Sinha's hard-hitting drama is in the sensitive subject area, which is frequently where urban multiplex circuits open better because of credibility, critical traction, and early urban bookings. The film's contemporary premise and the director's strong brand may lead to better initial foot traffic, particularly in urban regions.
Nevertheless, the romantic comedy starring Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi works in a more lucrative genre. The soundtrack has the potential to greatly increase walk-ins if it becomes popular and the music appeals to younger audiences. Strong word-of-mouth might guarantee consistent weekend growth and improved hold after the opening day, particularly regarding the chemistry and repetition value of the lead duo.
