A Slow Start for Gustaakh Ishq at the Box Office — But Can It Turn Around?
After much anticipation, Gustaakh Ishq finally hit the big screens, but its start was far from ideal. The film opened to a modest performance, collecting an estimated ₹0.5 crore in India net on its first day. Now, with updated figures, the second day seems to have dipped even further, drawing around ₹0.03 crore net so far. But here’s where it gets interesting — the numbers are still being updated live, with new data expected hourly. Could the final tally at 10 PM change the narrative?

About the Movie
Directed by Vibhu Puri and produced under Stage5 Productions, Gustaakh Ishq brings together an ensemble cast featuring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sharib Hashmi.

Is it an underappreciated gem or just a slow starter waiting for strong word-of-mouth?
For those tracking actor performances, this film currently records Vijay Varma’s Hindi net collection at ₹0.5 crore — though this could evolve as weekend figures roll in.
