Taapsee Pannu starrer Assi has earned Rs 0.01 crore at the box office, as per Sacnilk. The numbers will grow as footfall increases. The legal drama, however, is ahead Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi's film Do Deewane Seher Mein.

Anubhav Sinha stated in a recent interview with Screen that he does not wish to make the box office results of his most recent film, Assi, public. "The numbers are good gossip. I hope the audience gets it. They don’t understand what’s gross worldwide, gross India, and net India. They don’t know the producer gets only less than 50% of the reported figure. Rs 400 crore, Rs 700 crore and Rs 800 crore are all very aspirational figures, no? But I hope the audience doesn’t take these numbers seriously."

A user (@RaghavChawla01) claimed to have attended the exclusive screening of Do Deewane Seher mein. He shared his reaction to the movie and wrote, "It is a fun, lighthearted rom-com that doesn't bore you from start to end, but definitely feels stretched and cliché in the 2nd half. #SiddhantChaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur's chemistry looks good on screen. Both have given cute performances. I am surprised by the supporting cast."

Assi and Do Deewane Seher Mein, two very distinct genres that are simultaneously hitting theatres, are competing against each other in the current box office scenario. Taapsee Pannu's gripping courtroom drama aims to attract audiences interested in issue-driven films, while Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur's urban romance caters to those who enjoy heartwarming love tales.

Mrunal Thakur thinks Do Deewane Seher Mein will strike a chord with the public. At the trailer launch event, she stated that viewers should feel as though they are a part of the film. The actor said, "Through this movie, I just want to let the audience know that this film is for you. You will be able to resonate with it. When you watch that film, sitting in that seat, you should feel like you're a part of that movie."

Do Deewane Seher Mein is predicted by trade to debut at over 2 crore net, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. Over the weekend, it might develop with a deep emotional connection, but a flat start provides little opportunity for failure.

Do Deewane Seher Mein, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, and Assi, starring Taapsee Pannu, are predicted to debut on the lower side, reflecting the generally slow theatrical climate this month, and the Bollywood box office is headed for another poor Friday.

Kani Kusruti stated that it is impossible to understand the agony experienced by a rape survivor in an interview with PTI. She said, "I don't think one can tap into the trauma (of a survivor) exactly. As an actor, we tried to go closest to it, and there can be moments you are probably in it because you are almost believing this has happened to you. But I’m not an actor who would fully go in like that, (because) then it will kind of affect you. I don't tend to do that".

Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi play two socially awkward millennials navigating contemporary Mumbai love. Do Deewane Seher Mein, which features supporting performances by Viraj Gehlani, Ila Arun, Joy Sengupta, and Sandeepa Dhar, promises a moving examination of relationships and self-acceptance.

The stories of rape victims are being brought to light by filmmaker Anubhav Sinha and actor Taapsee Pannu. The protagonist of the tale is Kani Kusruti, a teacher who is abducted and sexually assaulted by a gang. Taapsee fights for justice as her lawyer. The plot of the movie shows how our families, society, and system harass victims more rather than helping them.

Assi may defeat Do Deewane Seher Mein on opening day despite appealing to very distinct audience segments. Read all about their anticipated earnings on the day here.
