Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha & Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan open to decent box office response

Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar-Bhumi Pednekar's Raksha Bandhan clashed at the box office on Thursday. While the former is an adaptation of Forrest Gump, the latter is a social drama. Since Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan released on Raksha Bandhan yesterday, they managed to open their accounts at the box office with a decent figure. 

Despite the 'Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha' trend, Aamir and Kareena's film caught the attention of the audience. The Advait Chandan directorial reportedly collected Rs. 12 crores at the box office on Thursday.
