Motichoor Chaknachoor’s low collections can also be because of Sidharth Malhotra starrer Marjaavaan that released on the same day. According to reports, Marjaavaan has seen a decent opening and has had a decent start of around 20-25 per cent. The film also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria in pivotal roles.

However, Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Bala is still pulling the audience. Even with two big releases like Marjaavaan and Motichoor Chaknachoor, the film is still steady at the box office. However, it has a lot to do to reach Ayushmann’s last film, Dream Girl’s collection.
